the extremities Explanation: In general, when referring to medical terminology, the extremities is most widely used under this context ueven though nose and ears isn't always necessrly. included......They are included in certain cases suc as when referring to cold contact for frostbite, etc... This would certainly work for your context.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2006-10-22 15:49:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Cyanosis is the characteristic blue color of the skin observed when the amount of unoxygenated hemoglobin in the blood exceeds 5 grams per 100 milliters of blood (out of anywhere from 10 to 15 grams of hemoglobin per 100 milliliters). Cyanosis may be harmless - as in acrocyanosis of newborn babies - but is usually a bad sign. Cyanosis may be caused by lung problems when not enough oxygen is getting into the bloodstream, or by circulatory problems. Circulatory problems include abnormal mixing of unoxygenated blood with oxygen carrying blood. It may be due to poor circulation, cold weather, or any other circulatory problems that might cause symptoms as described....Cyanosis is usually noted first around the lips and mouth, and perhaps in the nailbeds. |
