Physiology and anatomy problem-solving skills can be vital when you're the one taking a patient's history or doing the initial assessment. If you remember the functions of different organs and their anatomical relationships, you can come up with hypotheses and ask the relevant questions to test them. You will also know what to be alert for when caring for the patient later. A fair, fat, forty-three-year-old woman had been having episodes of griping abdominal pain after fatty meals. One day she ate French onion soup with lots of cheese and suffered severe enough pain that she called in sick. Her supervisor pointed out that she always gets sick after fatty foods. She went to the clinic and the nurse in triage took her vitals and history. The nurse noticed that the whites of her eyes were yellow and that she had tenderness on the right side of her abdomen. Blood pressure and heart rate were normal.
Based on this initial assessment, what organs do you think might be involved in this woman's illness, and why?
Choose the two most likely organs involved in her illness
a. Liver, because of the yellow coloration in her eyes, which indicates that the liver is not processing bilirubin.
b. Spleen, because of the pain on the right side of her abdomen.
c. Gall bladder, because it stores bile and might be related to the bilirubin buildup in her blood.
d. Stomach, because the pain occurs after eating
e. Heart, because her heart rate has not increased in response to pain.
f. Kidneys, because they should be cleaning the wastes out of her blood-her yellow eyes indicate that waste is building up in her blood.
g. Pancreas, because of the elevated blood glucose.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: C. Gallbladder, because it stores bile and could be related to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood.

Explanation:

The gallbladder is responsible for releasing bile juices that, together with gastrointestinal juices, degrade and metabolize fat molecules.

In people who have an unhealthy life, and gallbladder problems, these juices do not break down fat molecules and this is how these people suffer breakdowns, severe pain in the area of the middle third of the body, floating stools due to the high fat content .

The possible or most frequent problem of people who are like this 40-year-old woman is usually the accumulation of sialoliths in the bile duct.

The bile that is released by the gallbladder is necessary to drain properly into the intestines, if it cannot evacuate due to obliteration of the duct due to sialolithiasis or other reason, the gallbladder can become infected, generating a lot of pain and even possible sepsis.

Answer 2

Answer:

A and C

A: Liver, because of the yellow coloration in her eyes, which indicates that the liver is not processing bilirubin.

C: Gall bladder, because it stores bile and might be realted to tbe billrubin buildup in her blood.

Explanation:

 The combination of trouble with fats and yellow discoloration should make you think about the hepatobiliary system. Now you have a hypothesis about what's wrong with this patient and can make a direct assessment toward supporting or disproving that hypothesis rather than asking a lot of questions that may not be relevant.

Predict what will happen to the following lung volumes and capacities during strenuous exercise. Assume that you are comparing from a baseline of normal resting respiration.


Lung Volume or Capacity Predicted change from resting baseline : Use Increase, Decrease or No Change

TLC (total lung capacity)
No change
VC (Vital capacity)
IC (Inspiratory capacity)
FRC (Functional residual capacity
TV (Tidal volume)
IRV (Inspiratory reserve volume)
ERV (Expiratory reserve volume)
RV (Residual volume)

Answers

Answer:

During intense exercise:

lung capacity increases

vital capacity increases

respiratory capacity increases

functional residual capacity increases

tidal volume increases

the inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes decrease as does the residual volume.

Explanation:

Residual volumes decrease because having better lung capacity, better development of the secondary skeletal muscles that collaborate in expiration and inspiration, these are given in a better way, and more effectively.

If these processes take place more efficiently, their potentiality increases and expiration and inspiration move a large current of air into the lungs, thus leaving less reserve airs.

Those people who have increased exhalation or inspiration reserve, have a weak activity of the musculature in the processes and function as "stagnant air" which is synonymous with a lack of physical activity or aerobic capacity.

It is important to clarify that all the above processes are accompanied by an increase in the size of the chest cage

fur color in mice is affected by a single gene the gene for fur color has two alleles: b that causes dark brown fur and b that causes light brown fur. What is or could be the genotyes of a mouse with dark brown fur

Answers

Answer:

(BB) or (Bb)

Explanation:

Given that (B) allele , is responsible for fur that is dark brown, and (b) allele is responsible for fur color that is light brown, the dominant allele is (B) allele for dark brown fur. Dark brown fur allele would always express itself over the recessive allele, (b).

For a mouse that has dark brown fur, the possible genotype it could have is either (BB) => 2 dominant allele, or (Bb) => 1 dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele would always express itself even in the presence of the recessive allele.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Chemical energy is the energy that every substance or chemical have and its not affected by the presence or absence of the enzyme, while the activation energy is the required energy to initiate for a chemical reaction. If the energy of the chemical reaction is less than the activation energy reaction will not take place.

Presence of a enzyme lowers the amount of the energy for the initiating the reaction which is activation energy and the chemical reaction takes place.

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) cerebral cortex.

B) basal nuclei.

C) sensory pathways.

D) motor pathways.

E) All of the answers are correct.

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex processes and filters its information before passing the most relevant aspects to other regions of the brain. Some of these brain regions, in turn, send information back to the cortex. These loops, known as 'feedback systems', are considered essential for the functioning of cortical networks and their adaptation to new sensory information. Neural circuits must first assess the importance of incoming sensory information and then refine how it is processed in the future. Positive feedback, triggered with the purpose of amplifying the response to the initial stimulus, can be compared to a chain reaction or a vicious circle. Few are the functions regulated by this mechanism; rather it is triggered in pathological situations. It is the system by means of which the organism very rarely regulates any of the bodily functions under normal conditions, making the initial stimulus to be maintained and even increased. This type of mechanism is predominantly present in pathological situations: Its constitutive elements are: stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, integrating center, efferent pathway, effector and response. The response does not have the ability to satisfy the initial stimulus.

A) The repressor will no longer bind to the operator.
B) The repressor will no longer bind to the inducer.
C) The lac operon will be expressed continuously.
D) The lac operon will function normally.

Answers

Answer:

D) The lac operon will function normally.

Explanation:

The promoter area can be described as the area that causes the transcription to initiate for a particular gene. Promoters may be near the genes from which they initiate transcription or they may display multiple scenes upstream. The lock operon works normally because the promoter area can still enable transcription on many base pairs. Detects repression promoter and works normally.so correct option is D) The lac operon will function normally.

If a researcher moved the repressor gene of lac I, along with its promoter; the lac operon will function normally. Option D is correct.

Promotor:

It is the genetic sequence that is recognized by the RNA polymerase to start the transcription.

Here, researcher moved the repressor gene of lac I , along with its promoter.

Therefore, transcription starts, it will express the repressor gene also because repressor gene was moved with promotor.

Explain what, if any, is the issue facing DNA polymerase in regards to its 5’->3’ activity when replicating DNA.

Answers

Answer:

The two strands of DNA are replicated in different ways

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process that occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle that consists of making two identical copies of the double-stranded DNA molecule, which subsequently are distributed in the daughter cells during cell division. During this process, DNA polymerase can add nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction, but not in 3' to 5' direction. In consequence, the DNA strand that has 3’ to 5’ directionality can be synthesized directly, while the DNA template strand that has 5’ to 3’ directionality can't be synthesized in a continuous manner and thereby it is created by adding small DNA fragments, which are known as Okazaki fragments (150-200 nucleotides in size).

Why photosynthesis can't take place in such an environment , where there is no oxygen..? And exactly why trees need oxygen for photosynthesis ?

Answers

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process that leads to the release of oxygen as a by-product and is necessary for cellular respiration  

Explanation:

The plants produce or make oxygen form the wastes of starch, sunlight carbon dioxide, and water. In order to burn the sugar that is stored in the plants, it needs to have sunlight which requires oxygen. As the break down of sugar C6 H12 O6 to CO2 and H2O needs O2 to do it. Which is called cellular respiration. This is also stated by the first law of thermodynamics that energy cannot be created and neither destroyed but transforms itself. Photosynthesis is the chemical process that is used to convert this chemical energy which makes carbon and water into glucose and oxygen is released as a by-product.
