Could somebody help me out with these abbreviations:

Regarding cardiovascular system, what does RRR mean? What does the "nl" in "nl S1 S2" mean? What's "no M/R/G" mean?

Regarding the lungs, what does "CTA Bilaterally" mean?

Obviously just starting out. Any help appreciated.

RRR= regular rate & rhythm
nl = normal
M/R/G = murmurs/rubs/gallops
CTAB = clear to auscultation bilaterally

FA has lots of these if you want to check others.
