High School GPA Averages. The overall average GPA nationally is a 3.0, but this may be deceptive. The average in core subject areas is actually a bit lower. The average GPA is brought up to a 3.0 by the higher grades that students receive in courses that are not part of the core curriculum. The core curriculum in the data that I looked at was considered to be math, science, English, and social studies courses.
Hyper- means 'above' or 'over.' It is used in terms such as hypergastric and hypercystic. Hyper- is used in these terms along with the word roots, gastr- for stomach and cyst- for bladder, to let you know that something is 'above the stomach' and 'above the bladder' respectively.
pylorus. the distal aperture of the stomach, opening into the duodenum. The term has also been used to mean the pyloric part of the stomach, and the pyloric antrum, canal, opening, or sphincter. A ring of muscles, the pyloric sphincter, serves as a âgate,â closing the opening from the stomach to the intestine.
