Scandinavia, in a medical context, often refers to a geographical region consisting of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, where shared cultural, linguistic, and historical ties can influence the delivery, organization, and research of healthcare systems.
A genus of deer, Rangifer, that inhabits the northern parts of Europe, Asia, and America. Caribou is the North American name; reindeer, the European. They are often domesticated and used, especially in Lapland, for drawing sleds and as a source of food. Rangifer is the only genus of the deer family in which both sexes are antlered. Most caribou inhabit arctic tundra and surrounding arboreal coniferous forests and most have seasonal shifts in migration. They are hunted extensively for their meat, skin, antlers, and other parts.
