Cardiovascular
Integumentary
Nervous

The Chan family was traveling in their can and had a minor accident. The children in the
backseat were wearing seat belts, but they still sustained bruises around the abdomen
and had some internal organ injuries. Why is this area more vulnerable to damage than
others?<<<ANSWER>>>no skeletal protection or soft tissue
John, a patient at Jones City Hospital, is in tough shape. He has a hernia in his inguinal
region, pain from an infected kidney in his lumbar region, and severe bruises and
swelling in his pubic region. Explain where each of these regions in
located.<<<ANSWER>>>Hernia→thigh and trunk meet
Kidney→lower back
Bruises→genital area
The hormone thyroxine is released in response to a pituitary hormone called TSH. As
thyroxine levels increase in the blood, they exert negative feedback on the release of
TSH by the pituitary gland. What effect will this have on the release of
TSH?<<<ANSWER>>>TSH declines
, In congestive heart failure, the weakened heart is unable to pump with sufficient
strength to empty its own chambers. As a result, blood backs up in the veins, blood
pressure rises, and circulation is impaired. Describe what will happen as this situation
worsens owing to positive feedback. Then, predict how a heart strengthening
medication will reverse positive feedback.<<<ANSWER>>>circulation will slow down
causing organ failure
medication will strengthen the heart (reduces pressure) and an increase in blood supply
What two factors in the treatment of critical third-degree burn patients are absolutely
essential?<<<ANSWER>>>-loss of body fluids (electrolyte imbalance and dehydration)
-risk of infection
Both newborns and aged individuals have very little subcutaneous tissue. How does this
affect their sensitivity to cold?<<<ANSWER>>>subcutaneous tissue store fat, which
insulate the body
Antonio is hit in the face with a football during practice. An X-ray reveals multiple
fractures of the bones around an orbit. Name the bones that form the margins of the
orbit.<<<ANSWER>>>Lacrimal, Zygomatic, Ethmoid, and Sphenoid
Mrs Bruso, a woman in her 80's, is brought to the clinic with a fractured hip. X-rays
reveal compression fractures in her lower vertebral column and extremely low bone
density in her vertebrae, hip bones, and femurs. What are the conditions, causes, and
treatments?<<<ANSWER>>>weak bones (possibly osteoporosis), which is caused by a
deficiency of calcium in the bones; the treatments would either be a to take a vitamin
supplement or to drink more milk
Jack, a young man, is treated at the clinic for an accident in which he hit his forehead.
When he returns for a checkup, he complains that he can't smell anything. A hurried X-
ray of his head reveals a fracture. Which part of the bone was fractured to cause his
loss of smell?<<<ANSWER>>>the sides of the bone were fractured to cause a loss of
smell
A middle aged young woman comes to the clinic complaining of stiff, painful joints and
increasing immobility of her finger joints. A glance at her hands reveals knobby,
deformed knuckles. For what condition will she be tested?<<<ANSWER>>>Rheumatic
Arthritis
At his 94th birthday party, James was complimented on how good he looked and was
asked about his health. He replied, "I feel good most of the time, but some of my joints
ache and are stiff, especially my knees, hips, and lower back, and especially in the
morning when I wake up." A series of X-rays and MRI's scan taken a few weeks earlier
had reveals that the articular cartilage were rough and flaking off, and bone spurs
(overgrowths) were present at the ends of some of James' bones. What is James
probable condition?<<<ANSWER>>>Osteoarthritis
