This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 37 and 38 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text. An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", or when it is a bare cross-reference to another term. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. A later editorial review dropped eight further entries: three whose term/definition split had been cut wrongly and left an orphan word at the head of the definition, two that restated the term without teaching anything, one that duplicated another entry under a synonym, and one whose definition was factually wrong. No definition was rewritten. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
