MAP stands for which of the following:
- A.
Mean absolute percentage
- B.
Mean average percentage
- C.
Mean arterial pressure
- D.
Moderate Absolute Pressure Mean arterial pressure
Correct Answer
C. Mean arterial pressureExplanation
MAP stands for Mean Arterial Pressure. It is a measure of the average blood pressure in the arteries during one cardiac cycle. It is calculated by taking into account both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. MAP is an important indicator of perfusion pressure in the organs and tissues of the body. It is often used in medical settings to assess a patient's cardiovascular health and to guide treatment decisions.Rate this question:

What nerve is stimulated 2cm distal to the fibular head?
- A.
The tibial nerve
- B.
The peroneal nerve
- C.
The radial nerve
- D.
The median nerve
Correct Answer
B. The peroneal nerveExplanation
The peroneal nerve is stimulated 2cm distal to the fibular head. The peroneal nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve and innervates the muscles of the lower leg and foot. It is responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot and extension of the toes. Stimulation of the peroneal nerve at this specific location can help diagnose and treat conditions such as peroneal neuropathy or foot drop.Rate this question:
