At work, a box fell from a shelf onto Ella’s acromial region. In the emergency room, the physician felt that the head of her humerus had moved into the axilla. What had happened to Ella?
it fell on her shoulder and knocked her upper arm bone to her armpit area. this was a dislocation of her shoulder with a ball and socket joint
A 75-year-old woman and her 9-year-old granddaughter were in a car accident in which both sustained trauma to the chest while seated next to each other. X-ray images showed that the grandmother had several fractured ribs, but her granddaughter had none. Explain these different findings.
the older woman’s bones are weaker because of age and calcium and protein amounts becoming lessened. the child’s ribs likely had a higher amount of hyaline cartilage
While jogging, Mr. Ahmadi was forced to jump out of the way of a speeding car. He heard a snapping sound that was immediately followed by pain in his right lower calf. A gap was visible between his swollen calf and his heel, and he was unable to plantar flex that foot. What do you think happened?
i believe that he tore his achilles tendon which is connected to the gastrocnemius because of the location and a visible gap. this muscle and tendon allow you to flex you foot.
Susan fell off her bicycle and fractured her right clavicle. Treatment prescribed by the emergency room physician included using a sling to immobilize the clavicle and speed its healing. What muscles are temporarily “out of business” as a result of this injury?
Deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and pectoralis major (sternocleidomastoid).
When Eric returned from jogging, he was breathing heavily and sweating profusely, and he complained that his legs ached and felt weak. On the basis of what you have learned about muscle energy metabolism, respond to the following questions:
a. Why is Eric breathing heavily?
b. What ATP-harvesting pathway have his working muscles been using that leads to such a breathing pattern?
c. What metabolic product(s) might account for his sore muscles and his feeling of muscle weakness?
Repay oxygen debt. Aerobic respiration. Buildup of lactic acid.
i feel it should be anerobic respiration b/c of the lactic acid but this is what quizlet said
As the aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifted by Joe’s nose, his mouth began to water, and his stomach started to rumble. Explain these reactions in terms of ANS activity.
If we are hungry, just the sight, smell or thought of food will cause our digestive system to signal the brain to get all the systems prepared for the entry of food. This causes the muscles that line the stomach and intestines to start moving and also to start releasing digestive fluids, which creates the rumble that is often heard.
Mr. Harrison is an 82-year-old bedridden gentleman who has discovered a new interest in learning about his body. While being tended by the visiting nurse, he remarks that the supporting cells in nervous tissue (such as Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes) act like the rubber coating around household wiring. What does he mean by this analogy?
Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes deposit a fatty coat called myelin around axons. Like the rubber coat around household wires, myelin acts as an electrical insulator.
When Taylor begins to feel drowsy while driving, she opens her window, turns up the volume of the car stereo, and sips her ice-cold water. How do these actions keep her awake?
By changing the outside environment by feeling the wind while driving or turning up the volume, or drinking the cold water, taylor is taking her body out of a "habituation" state by introducing new environmental stimuli. this allows her brain to receive new sensory input (through her skin, mouth, and ears), integrate the information, and allow for motor output to potentially increase her oxygen intake through higher heart and respiratory rate through the activation of the sympathetic division. potentially the limbic system may also be activated as well
create more stimuli and change the “normal” state to become more alert
Explain the role of vitamin A in vision.
Vitamin A plays a role in the manufacture of rhodopsin. Found in the eye’s retina, rhodopsin is a pigment that is highly sensitive to light and thus useful in low-light environments. Essentially, it helps you see better in the dark.
An engineering student has been working in construction to earn money to pay for his education. After about eight months, he notices that he is having problems hearing high-pitched tones. What is the cause-and-effect relationship here?
His condition is called something known as presbycusis, which is basically a type of sensorineural deafness. This is a type of deafness that is accelerated with exposure to loud music, and is commonly seen in teenagers and the elderly.
Janie is referred to the eye clinic by her teacher, who suspects a need for glasses. Examination demonstrates that Janie is myopic. Will she need concave or convex lenses? Explain.
concave; The eyeball of a person who has myopia is too long, and the images of faraway objects fall short of the retina. Therefore, concave lenses are used in glasses which correct the shortfall by spreading out the light rays before it reaches the eyeball.
