Answer and Explanation:

  • Where (quadrant, etc.) will the doctor palpate Juan's abdomen?

<em>Under normal conditions in general the spleen can not be palped because of its reduced size. But when it is enlarged it might be easily touched. The spleen is located under the thoracic cage (rib cage) on the left side, between the 8th and 11th ribs. This would correspond to the left superior quadrant (left hemi-belly).</em>

  • What other organs might be compressed by Juan's enlarged spleen?

<em>The enlargement of the spleen and the liver inflammation are symptoms of the mono disease. This enlargement might affect some neighboring organs such as the stomach, which might be displaced and compressed. </em>

  • why is Juan's spleen enlarged and not his stomach or kidney?

<em>The spleen is part of the immunological system and helps the body to fight infections and filter old bloody cells taking them out of the blood current. This organ might get enlarged because blood cells accumulate in its interior. Red blood cells are excessively stored in the spleen, resulting in anemia. The more cells the spleen retains, the larger it becomes, and hence, the more blood cells it retains and destroys. If the spleen is unproperly working, it kills too many red blood cells and accumulates many others.</em>

The Stomach and kidney are not part of the immunity system and they do not filter blood cells, so they do not seem to be affected by their accumulation.

I need 6 FACTS about THE SPIRAL GALAXY
EastWind [94]

Answer:  1)Spiral galaxies are a class of galaxies originally described by astronomer Edwin Hubble in his 1936 work The Realm of the Nebulae.

2) They are part of the Hubble sequence a morphological classification scheme for galaxies.

3) Spiral galaxies usually consist of a rotating disk that contains stars, dust, gas, and a concentration of stars known as the bulge in the center.

4) These bulges are often surrounded by a faint halo of stars, many of which reside in globular clusters – a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core.

5) As such, Spiral galaxies are named after their spiral structures that extend from the center into a galactic disk.

6) They have spiral arms – sites of ongoing star formation that are brighter than the surrounding disk due to the presence of young OB stars that inhabit them.
