Describe Which septum are missing in this newborn

/in /by

A developing embryo has a complete endocardial cushion defect. The foetus develops to full-term and is born at 39 weeks gestation. 1) Describe which septum are missing in this newborn (2 marks); 2) Compare and contrast the blood flow in the developing foetus (1 mark), to that in the newborn, including oxygenation and shunting of blood (1 mark); 3) Describe which side of the heart will have increased blood volume, and how this increased blood volume will impact the heart wall thickness over time (1 mark).

Hint: Think about which side of the heart will end up with more blood (i.e. blood volume) as the heart beats, and identify how this increased blood volume will impact the heart tissue growth (i.e. hypertrophy etc.) Key words: Atria, Ventricle, shunt, hypertrophy Use dot points to answer this question *Use dot points 1)

Total Paralysis of the lower limb

/in /by

An individual experiences a fall accident in this case a fall from a coconut tree and experiences total paralysis of the lower limb, his upper body is functional. If there is any damage to a cell, shouldn’t it be a nerve cell that would be damaged as a result of a spinal cord injury? Are skeletal muscle cells damaged too?

PS: it’s not indicated that the individual suffered a damage to the legs or bled or raptured a vessel.

A Pulmonary function test

/in /by

A 55-year-old man is taking a pulmonary function test. He is asked to breathe as fast and as deep as he can for 2 seconds while an electronic spirometer measures his ventilation and reports it as maximum voluntary ventilation. Which of the following principles should be used to predict a person’s PaCO2 at the end of the maximum voluntary ventilation test.?

(A) PaCO2 decreases but disproportionately to the decreased ventilation

(B) PaCO2 decreases in proportion to the increased ventilation

(C) PaCO2 increases but disproportionately to the decreased ventilation

(D) PaCO2 increases in proportion to the decreased ventilation

(E) PaCO2 remains the same

The US Census Bureau

/in /by

Software advances allow for increasingly varied formats for presenting data as visuals. The US Census Bureau, in fact, maintains a web-based gallery, from which Figure 7.6 was obtained.10 This figure represents an unusual visualization of shifts in occupations; an added call-out highlights the healthcare occupations. Critique this visual (as well as any others linked through this referenced site). For which audiences would the format be most useful? How might you reconfigure this chart for simpler access to a wider group of readers?”

Water molecules moving to the side where the solution concentration is lower

/in /by

Consider two aqueous solutions of different concentration separated by a semipermeable membrane. In this situation, osmosis results in: A. water molecules moving to the side where the solution concentration is lower. B. the more concentrated solution becoming even more concentrated. C. the more dilute solution becoming even more dilute. D. the more concentrated solution becomes more dilute.
