Normothermia refers to a person's body temperature being within the normal range, specifically between 97.7°F (36.5°C) and 99.5°F (37.5°C). This is the average body temperature for adults, and it is considered normal if it remains within this range.
Normovolaemia is a medical term that refers to a normal blood volume in the body. It is a state where the blood volume is within the normal range, neither too high nor too low, and the blood pressure is stable.

Normoxic refers to an environment or condition where the concentration of oxygen is normal, typically between 19.5-21% in the air we breathe. This term is commonly used in medical contexts, such as in the treatment of patients with respiratory or cardio-pulmonary conditions, where oxygen therapy may be necessary to maintain normal oxygen levels in the body.
Noroviruses are a type of virus that causes gastroenteritis, commonly known as stomach flu or winter vomiting bug.
