While playing on her swing set, 10-year-old Sally falls and breaks her right leg. At the emergency room, the doctor tells her pa

rents that the proximal end of the tibia where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis is fractured. The fracture is properly set and eventually heals. During a routine physical when she is 18, Sally learns that her right leg is 2 cm shorter than her left, probably because of her accident. What might account for this difference?

The fracture might have damaged the epiphyseal cartilage in Sally’s right leg. Even though the bone healed properly, the damaged leg did not produce as much cartilage as did the undamaged leg. The result would be a shorter bone on the side of the injury.

Discuss the influence of cardiac output, resistance and blood volume on blood pressure.
Ivan

Answer:

All these elements: cardiac output, resistance and blood volume, are all factors that make part, and affect, blood pressure.

Blood pressure then is defined as the force excerted by blood, as it is pumped in a certain volume, from the heart, and passes through the arteries, to achieve an exchange of oxygen and nutrients, towards the tissues, and carrying out of elements of disposal from the tissues.

Cardiac output is the amount of blood that is pumped during one heartbeat, every minute, from the left ventricle towards the body. This output depends on several other elements, all of which form the blood pressure. Blood volume which is the amount of blood returned towards the heart by the veins, will fill the atria and ventricles, during a heart cycle, and then, during the heartbeat, whatever volume has filled up the left ventricle will be ejected with force towards the aorta. This force, caused both by the actual contraction of the heart muscle, and the amount of blood actually pumped from the ventricle, will generate a force against the arterial walls. It is this force, this play of physics, that will ensure the exchange of waste and nutrients to and from the tissues. But arterial walls also have a resistance, which means, they are built with tensile materials that will resist the force of the blood against them, preventing thus the walls from bursting.

This is the influence of cardiac output, resistance and blood volume on blood pressure. All of them will directly influence the blood pressure that a person has.

Exposure Status Cases Controls Yes 11 108 No 5 436 Total 16 544 Calculate the odds ratio. What do you conclude based upon your r
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Ratio = 8.8

The exposure may be risk factor.

Explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccc}{Exposure\ Status} & {Cases} & {Control} & {Yes} & {11} & {108} & {No} & {5} & {436} & {Total} & {16} & {544} \ \end{array}

Required

The odd ratio

First, we calculate the odds of exposure using:

Odds = \frac{With\ Exposure(Yes)}{Without\ Exposure (No)}

For cases, we have:

Odds_{Cases} = \frac{11}{5}

Odds_{Cases} = 2.20

For controls, we have:

Odds_{Controls} = \frac{108}{436}

Odds_{Controls} = 0.25

So, the odds' ratio is:

Ratio = \frac{Odds_{Cases}}{Odds_{Controls}}

Ratio = \frac{2.20}{0.25}

Ratio = 8.8

Conclusion about the odds' ratio

The calculated ratio is greater than (and also far from) 1.

This implies that there is a greater exposure than the controls.

So, we can conclude that the exposure may be risk factor.

Select the correct statement about the function of myocardial cells. A. Each cardiac muscle cell is innervated by a sympathetic
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

The myocardial cells form the cardiac muscle present in the heart. The heart receives its signal from the autonomic nervous system but not all the cells receive the signals.

The SV and AV node present in the upper heart produces the potential for the contraction. The action potential gets transferred through the cell and finally reach the lower ventricle through Purkinje fibres.

This allows the contraction of both the ventricles simultaneously and sows that the heart cells contract simultaneously.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
