Read this Pulmonology Consult excerpt:On physical exam, the patient is alert. He takes occasional pauses when he says long sente

nces, but otherwise, he is not in any distress. He has an occasional cough during his exam. His skin is pink and dry, and his lips are moist. His heartbeat is regular in rate and rhythm, without a murmur. On lung examination, he has whispered pectoriloquy on the right side with decreased breath sounds. He does not have any retractions or nasal flaring noted. His liver and spleen are not large.According to the excerpt, what was found upon lung examination on the right side?A. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - a chest that protrudes like the keel of a ship when the patient whispersB. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is presentC. "Retractions" - reverberations in the chest when it is struckD. "Retractions" - a dull sound in the chest when it is struckE. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - a chest that is hollowed out when the patient whispers

Answer:

B. "Whispered pectoriloquy" - "speaking from the chest"; used as a means of finding masses in the lung. The whispered word is audible in areas where fluid or a mass is present

Explanation:

Auscultation in medicine, is the action of listening to sounds from the heart, lungs, or other organs, usually using a stethoscope, in order to perform medical diagnosis.

Auscultation is performed for the purposes of examining the circulatory and respiratory systems, as well as the alimentary canal. The procedure is best performed in a quiet examination room. A stethoscope is used to magnify internal sounds. Small changes in breath sounds are carefully observed in order to make a diagnosis.

Whispered pectoriloquy is used to detect vocal resonance. It is  used as a means of finding masses (consolidations e.g. pus) in the lung and is performed by having the patient quietly whisper a word. If fluid or a mass is present, words that are whispered may be heard clearly.

The process where maiten magma rises and sinks due to tempature of difference, CRIVNCONEO
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Convection

Explanation:

The process where molten magma rises and sinks due to the temperature difference is known as CONVECTION.

This occurs when the hot magma moves upward and is cooled and moves downward again to be heated due to temperature difference, and similarly when cold magma moves upward and is heated and moves downward again to be cooled due to temperature difference.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is CONVECTION

On a backpacking trip, Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace, covering 30 kilometers and burning 4000 Calories. At the school tra
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

D. The rate of energy demand determines how the muscles will obtain energy, either from cellular respiration or from lactic acid fermentation if not enough oxygen is present.

Explanation:

It is important to consider that Kenny hikes all day but at a steady pace, whereas Janelle runs very fast. So Kenny's case, the supply of oxygen is sufficient to maintain aerobic respiration within the muscle cells. During this process only CO2, Water, and ATP are produced; therefore, there is no oxygen debt. We should keep in mind that the body shifts to anaerobic metabolism only when the supply of oxygen is limited.

In Janelle's case, running fast would need energy at higher rates and the supply of oxygen would not be sufficient to generate a high amount of ATPs. Therefore, to compensate for this deficiency, cells will start fermenting glucose to lactic acid and produce ATP and maintain energy demands. This lactic acid causes fatigue and this is why Janelle has aching and breathing hard. Breathing hard is also automatic reflux to inhale more oxygen and meet oxygen demands but even breathing hard would not be able to make it and the body will shift to anaerobic respiration automatically.
