Matter is anything that has mass (the amount of material in an object) and takes up space. On the earth, where gravity is present, we weigh an object to determine its mass.

A Mattress is Bedding material compacted to 3 to 4 inches and sandwiched in a heavyweight polypropolene or other fabric. Possible fillers include: long or chopped straw, poor quality

A Mauna Loa is an intermittently active volcano (elevation: 13,680 feet; 4,170 meters) on the island of Hawaii.

Max VE --->Maximum ventilation

A Max VO2 is Maximal Aerobic capacity

A Maximum breathing capacity (MBC) is Maximal volume of air that can be breathed per minute by a subject breathing as quickly and as deeply as possible. This tiring lung function test

- Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) : A Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is the highest level of a Contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.

- Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) : A Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) is the level of a Contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.

A Maximum expiratory flow (Vmax x) is Forced expiratory flow, related to the total lung capacity or the actual volume of the lung at which the measurement is made. Modifiers refer to

A Maximum expiratory flow rate (MEFR) is Synonymous with FEF200-1200.
