 BradycardiaBradycardia is a condition typically defined wherein an individual has a resting heart rate of under 60 beats per minute (BPM) in adults, although some studies use a heart rate of less than 50 BPM. Bradycardia typically does not cause symptoms until the rate drops below 40 bpm. When symptomatic, it may cause fatigue, weakness, dizziness, sweating, and at very low rates, fainting. During sleep, a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common, and is considered normal.[citation needed] Highly trained athletes may also have athletic heart syndrome, a very slow resting heart rate that occurs as a sport adaptation and helps prevent tachycardia during training. The term 'relative bradycardia' is used to refer to a heart rate that, although not actually below 60 BPM, is still considered too slow for the individual's current medical condition.

 ClottingCoagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion and aggregation of platelets, as well as deposition and maturation of fibrin.
 FertilisationFertilisation or fertilization, also known as generative fertilisation, syngamy and impregnation, is the fusion of gametes to give rise to a new individual organism or offspring and initiate its development. Processes such as insemination or pollination which happen before the fusion of gametes are also sometimes informally called fertilization. [from Wikipedia]
 HeartBeatA cycle of the Heart undergoing MuscularContract and then a MuscleRelaxing to pump Blood and then fill with blood to be ready for the next contraction.
 InflammationInflammation is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, BloodVessels, and molecular mediators. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from the original insult and the inflammatory process, and initiate tissue repair.[from Wikipedia]
 MenstruationA periodic discharge of Blood and other BiologicalSubstances by Females that is part of a readjustment of the uterus.
 MuscleRelaxingThe Process of a Muscle being deactivated or relaxing and lengthening.
 MuscularContractionThe Process of a Muscle being activated by a NerveCell and shortening.
 OrganificationAny BiologicalProcess that results in the formation of an Organ.
 OssificationAny BiologicalProcess that results in the formation of Bones.
 SunburnA Damaging of the Skin due to excessive exposure to the sun (Sol).
 TachycardiaTachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart). [from Wikipedia]
 TanningA darkening of the Skin due to exposure to the sun (Sol), due to the body's production of melanin.
