Shock wave In physics, a shock wave, or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance. When a wave moves faster than the local speed of sound in a fluid, it is a shock wave. Like an ordinary wave, a shock wave carries energy and can propagate through a medium; however, it is characterized by an abrupt, nearly discontinuous change in pressure, temperature and density of the medium. For context of comparison, in supersonic flows, additional increased expansion may be achieved through an expansion fan, also kno

ShockËshÃ¤k Shock is a life-threatening condition in which delivery of oxygen to the organs is low, causing organ damage and sometimes death. Blood pressure is usually low. Shock has several causes: Low blood volume, inadequate pumping action of the heart, or excessive widening (dilation) of blood vessels.

- Shock happens when there is insufficient circulation of oxygen in your body. The lack of oxygen causes your vital organs and tissues to shut down. It typically occurs when your blood pressure falls to a very low level, either from reduced cardiac output, or from reduced effective circulating blood volume.

Septic shock Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that happens when blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection. This reduces the amount of blood and oxygen that reaches the body's organs, stopping them working properly. Septic shock can occur as a complication of sepsis, a serious condition that happens when the body's reaction to an infection damages its own tissues and organs. This page covers: Symptoms.

- The medical term shock refers to a state in which not enough blood and oxygen reach important organs in the body, such as the brain and kidneys. Shock causes very low blood pressure and may be life threatening. Shock can have many causes. Cardiogenic shock is only one type of shock. Other types of shock include hypovolemic (hy-po-vo-LEE-mik) shock and vasodilatory (VAZ-oh-DILE-ah-tor-e) shock. Hypovolemic shock is a condition in which the heart can’t pump enough blood to the body because of severe blood loss.

Phenethylamine Phenethylamine is a primary amine, the amino-group being attached to a benzene ring through a two-carbon, or ethyl group. It is a colourless liquid at room temperature that has a fishy odour and is soluble in water, ethanol and ether. Its density is 0.964 g/ml and its boiling point is 195 °C. Upon exposure to air, it forms a solid carbonate salt with carbon dioxide. Phenethylamine is strongly basic, pK b = 4.17 (or pK a = 9.83), as measured using the HCl salt and forms a stable crystalline hydrochloride salt with a melting point of 217 °C.
