Case 2

Steve is a member of the West Coast Eagles football team. During practice, he suffered a high impact collided with a team-mate and injured the anterior compartment of his thigh. As a result of the collision, his quadriceps femoris muscle were compressed against the femur, resulting in quadriceps contusion or ‘cork thigh’.

1. Describe the gross anatomy of the [muscles, their attachments and actions and nerve supply] of the quadriceps [anterior] compartment of the thigh.

2. Explain what happens to the muscle compartment following such injuries. [3 marks]

3. Explain the signs and symptoms of such an injury.

4. If severe or left untreated left untreated, this type of injury can result in compartment syndrome. Explain what is meant by compartment syndrome and outline the consequences of this condition.

5. In severe injuries of this type, a condition known as myositis ossificans can occur. Explain the processes involved in the development of this condition, and the resulting consequences if left untreated.

A 56 year old woman visited her family doctor for evaluation of a headache that had persisted for nearly a month. Upon questioning the patient, the doctor learned that her left arm, as she put it, "was a bit unwieldy, hard to control and weak." Through examination, the doctor determined that the entire left upper extremity was generally weak. He also found weakness, although less significant, of the left lower extremity. Sensation in the limbs seemed to be normal, although mild rigidity and hyperactive reflexes were present. Expressing concern, the doctor told the patient that she needed a CT scan of her head and explained that there could be a problem within the brain, possibly a tumor or other lesion. The doctor then picked up the phone and contacted a radiologist. After explaining the patient's case, the doctor remarked parenthetically that he believed he knew where the problem was located.

1) Why did the doctor suggest to the patient that there might be a problem within her brain when the symptoms were weakness of the extremities, and then just on one side of her body?

2) How would he know the location of the suspected brain tumor?

3) In which side of the brain and in which lobe would it be?

4) Explain the muscle weakness in terms of neuronal pathways from the brain to the periphery.

1. Explain 2 ways that autoregulation within the kidneys could deal with a drop in GFR.

2. If the kidney receives lower than normal levels of oxygen via the renal artery,
explain why higher levels of EPO would be released into the blood.

Can someone explain REM rebound to me? For example, is it true that after 5 hours or so, we enter our longest REM period? Can you also include a somnogram sketch to illustrate? Thanks!

A young woman presents at the clinic six weeks after a gastric bypass surgery. She had more than 100 lbs. to lose and so far, has lost 40 lbs. She expected to gain some strength and begin exercising, but she is very weak. She states that at times she is too weak to even comb her hair. She eats small meals several times a day, but has watery diarrhea and is nauseated much of the time. She is losing her hair and is very discouraged. Explain how gastric bypass affects your ability to absorb and use nutrients. Include in your answer specific facts, data, examples,

1. Which of these is an organic compound?
CO2,
KCL,
H2O,
DNA

2.A young mother is in the hospital delivery room. She is progressing slowly through her labor. Her doctor suggests that she get an IV drip with pitocin (oxytocin) in it to accelerate her labor contractions. As the pitocin is added, the uterus contracts harder and harder. This is example of: positive or negative feedback?

Describe the events of a cardiac cycle based upon contracting and relaxation phases.

Describe the activity of each chamber during cardiac systole and cardiac diastole. Be able to relate the electrical activity of the heart (depolarization, repolarization) to the corresponding electrical activity depicted on a typical ECG/EKG tracing. Label and define the waves.

Trace the depolarization pathway through the intrinsic conduction system components. Compare and contrast cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false:

1. The intestinal mucosa produces most of the secretions that enter the small intestine, but the secretions of the spleen and the pancreas also enter the small intestine and play essential roles in digestion.   True  False
2. The mucus produced by the intestinal and duodenal glands and the goblet cells protects the wall of the intestine from the effects of the acidic chyme and from digestive enzymes.   True  False
3. Small molecules, which are breakdown products of digestion, are absorbed through the microvilli and enter the circulatory or lymphatic system.   True  False
4. Mixing, propulsion, and mass peristalsis are the primary mechanical functions of the small intestine. True False
