Some Swedish Medical Terminology

This will be my personal list of healthcare-related words since I have a hard time remembering what certain terms are called in swedish, most of them which I have trouble finding relevance in. If I don't know these words while working, I'll be in big trouble.

From earlier post:


  • insöndring - secretion
  • kärl - vessel
  • motstånd - resistance
  • hjärtats slagvolym - volume of blood being pumped per minute
  • att häma - to inhibit
  • prestationsförmåga - performance
  • blekhet - paleness
  • att förebygga - to prevent
  • att lindra - relieve 
  • blodpropp - blodclots
  • vadmuskelatur - calf
New words: 
  • leder - joints
  • bentättheten  - bone density
  • bindväven - connective tissue
  • ledkapsel - joint capsule
  • översträckning - hyperextension
  • felställningar - deformities
  • kalium - potassium
  • urinblåsa - bladder
  • tyngdkraften - force of gravity
  • kväve - nitrogen
  • proteinnedbrytning - protein degredation
