MI Midterm Study Guide Questions And Answers Complete Verified Solutions.

medical interventions - correct answers measures to *improve health* or *alter* the *course of an illness* and can be used to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. categories of medical intervention - correct answers prevention, diagnosis, treatment bioinformatics - correct answers the *collection, classification, storage,* and analysis* of biochemical and *biological* information using *computers* antibodies - correct answers a protective protein produced in response to the presence of antigens penicillins - correct answers inhibits cell wall synthesis by activating lytic enzymes that destroys the cell wall, and so the bacterium tetracycline - correct answers inhibits protein synthesis, as it blocks the addition of amino acids, producing incomplete and so nonviable proteins fluoroquinolones - correct answers disrupts nucleic acid synthesis by inhibitng DNA gyrase, an enzyme that unwinds DNA in preparation for replication and transcription sulfa antibiotics - correct answers inhibits metabolism by disrupting the production of dihydrofolic acid which is responsible for protein productions conjugation - correct answers plasmid-mediated process in which a bridge-like structure known as a pilus forms between two cells in proximity to each other, allowing plasmids to be transferred, and so their possible antibiotic resistance as well. transformation - correct answers process in which genes are transferred between cells from naked DNA produced when a cell dies; nearby cells can incorporate these genes into their own DNA, and so their possible antibiotic resistance as well. transduction - correct answers process in which DNA is transferred through a virus; the virus, with its own DNA, picks up bacterial DNA from its host bacteria, forming a hybrid of viral and bacterial DNA. The virus then infects bacteria with the hybrid DNA, and, if the bacteria survive, may also transfer its possible antibiotic resistance as well. inner ear - correct answers vestibule, semicircular canals, and cochlea middle ear - correct answers contains the ossicles, tympanic and the eustachian tube, and extends from the tympanic membrane to the oval window; transmits vibrations to the inner ear outer ear - correct answers comprised of the auditory canal, which conducts sound waves toward the tympanic membrane sensorineural hearing loss - correct answers Hearing loss or impairment resulting from problems with the auditory nerves (inner ear) conductive hearing loss - correct answers Hearing loss or impairment resulting from interference with the transmission of sound waves to the cochlea (outer, middle ear) pinna - correct answers outer-most portion of the inner ear auditory canal - correct answers hollow space that conducts sound waves to the tympanic membrane (ear drum) eustachian tube - correct answers tube that connects the ears to the throat and nose ossicles - correct answers malleus, incus, stapes; amplify the sound waves to be received by the cochlea tympanic membrane - correct answers structure that is vibrated, and causes the vibrations of ossicles, which send the amplified waves to the cochlea vestibule - correct answers area between the tympanic membrane and the cochlea cochlea - correct answers the structure in the inner ear responsible for transforming the sound waves into electrical impulses to be conducted by the auditory nerve and received by the brain sensory hair cells - correct answers structures in the cochlea that convert the auditory sound waves into electrical impulses cochlear nerve - correct answers auditory nerve; nerve that sends the electrical impulses created in the cochlea to the brain to create the sensation of hearing oval window - correct answers opening which connects the middle ear to the inner ear vestibular nerve - correct answers part of the auditory nerve that transmits information about equilibrium vaccination - correct answers a harmless variant of a pathogen that stimulates a host's immune system to mount defenses against the pathogen genetic testing - correct answers the use of methods to determine if someone has a genetic disorder, will develop one, or is a carrier genetic counseling - correct answers A process of communication that deals with the occurrence or risk that a genetic disorder will occur in a family
