What are the three most important things you learned in class and why

What did you like most about class

What is one thing you would suggest we change in the class in the future.

For grading:

Do not rewrite the questions in your post. Instead, number each section of your response to correspond with the section you are discussing/addressing (e.g., 1., 2., 3.,).

Post must be at least 200-words and address all three items above. Please be somewhat detailed in your answer to receive the full amount of points for this forum.

To receive full points, you must use full sentences with proper grammar, spelling and punctuation; and no emoticons like :-) the traditional “smiley” face.

Prior to arrival to the Americas of people from the western regions of Eurasia , small pox was not an especially virulent or lethal disease in Europe. In the Americas, syphilis was similarly of a mild nature. Yet to Europeans syphilis was lethal as was small pox to the first Americans. Study geography of Eurasia and the Americas and develop an scientific hypothesis why this occurred.

Mrs. Debbie Morgan is a 45-year-old female who works as a stocking clerk for a local home improvement store. While she was at work today a large box of metal rivets fell from a 20-ft.-high overhead shelf, striking her outstretched arm and knocking her to the ground. The ambulance personnel reported that she had lost quite a bit of blood at the accident scene and was “knocked out” when they arrived. To minimize further hemorrhage, the paramedics applied a pressure bandage to her arm.

You meet the paramedics as they bring Mrs. Morgan into the emergency room and begin to assess her for injuries. She is awake and alert, but complaining of severe left arm and back pain, plus she has a “killer headache.” To fully examine her injuries you remove four blood-soaked bandages from her arm. You notice a large open wound on her arm with what appears to be bone tissue sticking out of the skin. She also has bruises covering her left shoulder, left wrist, and lower back. To determine the extent of her injuries Mrs. Morgan undergoes several x-rays, which reveal the following:

1. One way bones are classified is by their shape. How would you classify the bones fractured by Mrs. Morgan (3 points)?

2. The body of Mrs. Morgan’s vertebra is fractured. What type of bone tissue makes up the majority of the vertebral body (1 point)? Describe the structure and function of this type of bone (2 points).

3. The diaphysis of Mrs. Morgan’s humerus is fractured. What type of bone tissue makes up the majority of the diaphysis of long bones like the humerus (1 point)? List and describe/define the layers (lamellae) of bone tissue found here (3 points)

explain causes,symptoms,and treatments of each of the conditions

1)aortic valve stenosis 2) ascites 3) Arrhythmia 4)blood clots 5) heart failure

To determine the extent of her injuries Mrs. Morgan undergoes several x-rays, which reveal the following:

1. Most connective tissue, including bone, is highly vascular. Which anatomical structures in Mrs. Morgan’s compact bone house blood vessels (2 points)? What sign or symptom in Mrs. Morgan’s case is directly related to disruption of these structures by her bone fractures (1 point)? How is the sign or symptom related to these anatomical structures (1 point)?

2. Within days after a fracture, a “soft callus” of fibrocartilage forms. What fibers are found in this type of cartilage (1 point)? Identify the cells required for fibrocartilaginous callus formation and list their functions (2 points).

3. As a fracture is repaired, new bone is added to the injury site. What term is used to describe the addition of new bone tissue (1 point)? Identify which bone cell is responsible for this process (1 point)and explain how it occurs (2 points).

During leg extension and flexion which nerves are being used?

1) Insulin

2) Glucagon

4) Leptin

Trace a drop of blood from the Right Ulnar Vein to the Splenic Artery.

What happens in lymphopoiesis in embryonic and adult stages of development. Alongside the key steps in each stage, also mention some influencing factors relating to its development

Dot point answers will be fine

1. If your tonsils are removed, how does your body develop an immune response against antigens in the throat?

2. The radical mastectomy is an operation in which a cancerous breast, surrounding tissues, and the underlying muscles of the anterior thoracic wall, plus the axillary lymph nodes, are removed. After such an operation, the arm usually swells, or becomes edematous, and is very uncomfortable -- sometimes for months. Why?

Imagine that you are on the front line (also known as triage) in a hospital and are receiving patients presenting with possible Coronavirus symptoms. What would you be looking for in terms of symptoms for these patients? How would you differentiate them from people who may be coming in for different reasons? Your role is to investigate what symptoms these patients arrive with that makes you suspicious for this disease. Also provide a reason why this virus has a special affinity for the lungs. As with all medical staff who work together to care for a patient, you will be working together in groups of 3 to 5 people (your choice) to provide answers to this question.
