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.
A stomach ulcer is a common term used by laymen to describe one of several medical conditions. In particular, an ulcer is an erosion in the lining of the stomach, intenstines, or esophagus. This can occur for a variety of reasons, which will be covered in the next section. The digestive tract is covered in the mucus-laden, tough lining known as mucosa. Ulcers can occur anywhere along this tract.
