Answer:

The difference between the effects of a spinal injury at C3 and one at T3 is due to the fact that the segment of the spinal cord affected, and the functions it controls, are different.

Explanation:

From the spinal cord originate the spinal nerves, which are responsible for controlling both sensory and motor nerve functions.  

Each segment of the spinal cord controls a group of specific motor and sensory nerves, known as myotomes and dermatomes.  

Vertebral injuries can cause spinal cord inflammation or permanent spinal cord damage. The involvement of a segment of the spinal cord can be evidenced by  

  • <u><em>Sensory level</em></u><em>: which is the lowest level of sensory function that remains intact.  </em>
  • <u><em>Motor level</em></u><em>: the lowest level in which motor activity remains functional.  </em>

<u><em>The difference between a C3 and T3 lesion is that the cervical lesion affects the dermatome and myotome that control this segment, in addition to all those below it. On the other hand, a T3 lesion can affect this dermatome and myotome, in addition to the lower ones, but the functions above the lesion will not be affected</em></u>.

- A vertebral injury in C3 —third thoracic vertebra— is very high —sensory and motor level with response maintained on the neck— and produces a failure of almost all the peripheral nerves, with paralysis from the neck down. This includes breathing and control of the diagphragm (breathing) and the four limbs.

- Injuries in T3 —third thoracic vertebra— the motor and sensory level is lower, allowing movement of arms and breathing, but with paralysis of part of the trunk, lower extremities and control of the bowel and urinary bladder.

Why are microdeletions and microinsertions difficult to diagnose using karyotyping?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Karyotype is the pictorial representation of all the chromosomes. The karyotype is important to recognize any change in the chromosome structure of an individual.  

The microdeletion and microinsertion is occur at the molecular level. These changes can only be diagnose by the molecular techniques and karyotype only involves the structure of chromosome but not at the molecular level  so cannot diagnose the microinsertion and microdeletion.

What does it feel like whe HS (hydradenitis superitiva) bursts on the inside? how can a person tell?
Yuliya22 [10]

If the boil ruptures under the skin, inflammation and infection spread quickly and new lumps form nearby. HS is a progressive disease so it is bound to get worse over time.  It can be unpredictable. It is different for every person so it can be hard to predict.

If you achieve a ___ fitness rating, the environment are factors that affect you physical fitness
ruslelena [56]

If you are exercising in your target fitness zone, you are between your threshold of training and your target ceiling.

If you achieve a good fitness rating, you probably are at the level of fitness needed to live a full, healthy life.

These are what I found on Quizlet.
