Below are some terms, common and uncommon, that a [[Medical Officer]] might use while working in the field.
==A==
* '''Adrenal Gland''' - In [[Human]]s, they are small, triangular-shaped glands that are located on top of both kidneys. They produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, response to stress and other essential functions.
* '''Alizine''' - A medication used to counter allergic reactions in [[Klingons]].
==D==
* '''Degenerative''' - A term used to describe a disease or illness that causes more damage over time.
* '''Desegranine''' - [[Cardassian]] drug used to help reverse memory loss. The [[Obsidian Order]] often used this drug to help its undercover agents remember their true identities.
==F==
* '''Felicium''' - An addictive narcotic, it was originally developed as a vaccine, produced on the planet [[Brekka]]. At first, it prevented the spread of a plague that existed on neighboring planet [[Ornara]], but the Ornarans quickly became addicted to the opioid-like substance.
* '''Fetus''' - Also spelled "foetus," this is the terminology used to describe unborn offspring once they reach a certain "age" of gestation while in the womb. <br>Previously called an embryo, a ''fetus'' is more developed, and is refered to by this name starting from the ninth week after fertilizations (in [[Human]] and [[Humanoid]]s), and continues until birth.
* '''Neuron''' - Also called "nerve cells," these are the fundamental units of the [[brain]] and nervous system of a [[humanoid]] being. These are the cells responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, for sending motor commands to muscles, and for transforming and relaying the electrical signals at every step in between.
* '''Niaxilin''' - This drug is used to separate mating [[Denobulan]]s, should they become "too vigorous."
<br>
==P==
* '''Pancreas''' - A [[Human]] organ located in the abdomen. It plays an essential role in converting food into fuel for the body's cells. Has two main functions: aiding with digestion, and regulation of blood sugar.
* '''Peridaxon''' - A drug used to treat [[Irumodic syndrome]]. It simply relieves the symptoms, as there is no cure.
* '''Strain''' - A muscular strain involves an injury to a muscle or to the band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone. (''See main page:'' '''[[Sprains and strains]]''')
* '''Strobolin''' - The cure for the [[choriocytosis virus]].
==T==
* '''Tesokine''' - A drug used to help a baby from one species to properly metabolize the nutrients from another species while in the womb. It is not effective with all species.
* '''Theragen''' - A chemical compound, initially developed as a nerve gas by the [[Klingon]]s. While lethal in its pure form, it can be diluted with alcohol in order to temporarily deaden certain nerve inputs to the brain.
* '''Triglobulin''' - a biogenic substance produced by the [[Axanar]] [[zymuth gland]], and released into the blood. It was used to produce medicines and vaccines, and was used by some species used as an aphrodisiac.
