A patient presents complaining of weakness and mild pain at the right (R) elbow on the lateral side. The pain is limiting functional activity, in particular activities that involve gripping and turning.

a) Considering the types of skills and the specific tests for elbow structures, outline how you would go about differentiating the contribution of the elbow joints and the relevant muscles to causing this impairment, indicating which tests you could use and what information you would gain from performing them.

b) In relation to the pain with gripping experienced by this patient, list the two (2) types of prehension and for each give examples and descriptions of two (2) different grips.

Acid-Base Balance

As the rate of H+ and/or PCO2 production changes in the body, what “system” acts the quickest to stabilize pH and minimize the magnitude of such changes?

Give 3 examples of substances that comprise this “system”.

Why does the blood pH change when the blood PCO2 is changed? (you should know the chemical equation that describes this relationship)

Give an example of the kind of physiological change that would CAUSE an increase in PCO2.

What would such a condition be called?

Give an example of the kind of physiological change that would CAUSE a decrease in PCO2.

What would such a condition be called?

As PCO2 of the blood decreases, what happens to the urine H+ concentration as kidneys compensate for this change? (increase, decrease, or no change)

Explain what the kidneys are doing that makes the H+ concentration change in this manner, and how this change acts as a compensation to the decreasing PCO2.

As PCO2 of the blood decreases, what happens to the urine HCO3- concentration?

Explain what the kidneys are doing that makes the HCO3- concentration change in this manner, and how this change acts as a compensation to the decreasing PCO2.

Give an example of the kind of physiological change that would CAUSE a decrease in [H+] DIRECTLY (without causing a change in PCO2 first).

What would such a condition be called?


Give an example of the kind of physiological change that would CAUSE an increase in [H+] DIRECTLY (without causing a change in PCO2 first).

What would such a condition be called?

If the root cause of the H+ concentration changes is an abnormality of the kidneys, how might the respiratory system respond to:

a. an increasing H+ concentration.

b. a decrease in H+ concentration.

Guiding Principles of A&P

• Cells form the foundation of body structure and function

• The body is organized into a hierarchy of increasing complexity

• Body systems are functionally integrated

• Structure and function are closely related

• Rela7vely stable internal conditions are maintained despite changing external conditions

• Informa7on flow coordinates body functions

A 150 lb., 63-year-old man is experiencing exertional dyspnea, shortness of breath, mild cyanosis, and marked slowing of forced expiration. He is chronically fatigued from the action of breathing and appears to have a "barrel chest." In addition, he has been a smoker for 40 years. The doctor describes his condition as a "progressive disease that directly affects the site of gas exchange in his lungs."

What treatments would you recommend for this patient?

What sample should be used for crossmatching the additional units?

A patient was transfused in the emergency room with 14 units of O negative red cells over a period of 6 hours. The acute bleeding was stopped and the patient was transferred to ICU for continued care. Type and screen on the original sample was O positive with a negative antibody screen at all phases of testing. An H&H from the ICU was 8 g/dl hgb & 24.7 hct. The physician ordered an additional 4 units of packed red cells.

QUESTIONS:

What sample should be used for crossmatching the additional units?

What blood type should the patient receive? Why?
