A trimpot or trimmer potentiometer is a small potentiometer which is used for adjustment, tuning and calibration in circuits. When they are used as a variable resistance (wired as a rheostat) they are called preset resistors.
Gynecologists specialize in the female reproductive system, but also care for women's overall health. A gynecologist is a doctor who treats medical conditions and diseases that affect women and their reproductive organs. (Gynecologists are also trained in obstetrics-the care of women during pregnancy and childbirth, which overlaps with gynecology.) 2.
OB/GYN: A commonly used abbreviation. OB is short for obstetrics or for an obstetrician, a physician who delivers babies. GYN is short for gynecology or for a gynecologist, a physician who specializes in treating diseases of the female reproductive organs. The word gynecology comes from the Greek gyno, gynaikos meaning woman + logia meaning study, so gynecology literally is the study of women. These days gynecology is focused largely on disorders of the female reproductive organs.
