Cancer: is a disease in which the body produces an excess of malignant cells (known as carcinogens, or cancer), with growth and division beyond the normal limits, (invasion of surrounding tissue, and sometimes metastasis). Metastasis is the spread at a distance, mainly via lymphatic or blood stem cells of cancer, and growth of new tumors in the duty of such metastases. These properties differentiate the benign from malignant tumors, which are limited and do not invade and produce metastasis. Most cancers form tumors but some (such as leukemia). (Cáncer)

31. Edema: is the accumulation of fluid in the intercellular space or interstitial tissue and in the cavities of the body. The edema is considered a clinical sign, due to abnormal increase in the interstitial fluid that fills the intercellular spaces. (Edema)


32. Endemic: is a pathological process that continues over a long time in a given geographical area or population. Usually these are infectious diseases. The disease is maintained through time in a stable level, including seasonal variations. (Endemia)

35. Fabrics: In biology called woven material consisting of an organized set of cells, at or a few types, distinguished in a certain way, arranged regularly, with a physiological and a coordinated common embryonic origin. Histology is called the study of these tissues. (Tejidos)


36. Fever: sometimes known as temperature, fever or a fever, is an increase in body temperature above what is considered normal.
