    Of the following pathological conditions of the skeletal system, which one would most likely appear in a person 50 years of age or older?

    • Legg-Calve'-Perthes Disease

    • Scheuermann's Disease

    • Osteogensis Imperfecta

    • Osteoporosis

    Correct Answer
    A. Osteoporosis
    Explanation
    Osteoporosis is the most likely pathological condition of the skeletal system to appear in a person 50 years of age or older. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density and strength, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is commonly associated with aging and hormonal changes, particularly in postmenopausal women. As individuals age, their bones naturally become weaker and more prone to fractures, making osteoporosis a common condition in older adults. Legg-Calve'-Perthes Disease, Scheuermann's Disease, and Osteogenesis Imperfecta are all conditions that can occur at any age and are not specifically associated with older individuals.

    Any individual who smokes a lot is likely to develop

    • Hyaline membrane disease

    • Emphysema

    • Tuberculosis

    • Apnea

    Correct Answer
    A. Emphysema

    • Ingestion

    • Peristalsis

    Correct Answer
    A. Peristalsis
    Explanation
    Peristalsis is the correct answer because it refers to the rhythmic contraction of smooth muscle in the intestine. This contraction helps to propel food through the digestive system, allowing for the efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients. Peritonitis, on the other hand, is the inflammation of the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity, and is unrelated to the contraction of smooth muscle in the intestine. Mastication refers to the process of chewing food, and ingestion refers to the act of taking in food or drink.

    A substance that causes the immune system to respond is called a (n):

    • Antigen

    • Phagocyte

    • Anaphylactic Substance

    • Natural killer cell

    Correct Answer
    A. Antigen
    Explanation
    An antigen is a substance that triggers an immune response in the body. When introduced into the body, antigens are recognized by the immune system as foreign and elicit an immune response. This response can involve the production of antibodies, activation of immune cells, and the release of inflammatory mediators. Antigens can be derived from pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses, or from non-infectious sources, such as pollen or certain food proteins. The immune system's response to antigens is crucial for defending the body against infections and maintaining overall health.

    A client informs you that they have been taking two aspirin every four to six hours for a mild ankle sprain for the past two days. What modifications to the bodywork approach may need to be made?

    • Use of lubricant may need to be modified to reduce increased skin sensitivity caused by the aspirin.

    • Compression approaches would be the methods of choice since the aspirin would increase the potential for blood clotting.

    • Intensity of compressive force for the methods used may need to be reduced to prevent bruising since the aspirin thins the blood and decrease clotting ability

    • Only energetic methods would be advisable to avoid an inflammatory response.

    Correct Answer
    A. Intensity of compressive force for the methods used may need to be reduced to prevent bruising since the aspirin thins the blood and decrease clotting ability
    Explanation
    The client has been taking aspirin, which thins the blood and decreases clotting ability. This means that there is an increased risk of bruising during bodywork. Therefore, the intensity of compressive force for the methods used may need to be reduced to prevent bruising.

    Which of the following bone type has a medullary cavity?

    • Flat bone

    • Sesamoid Bone

    • Long bone

    • Irregular bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Long bone
    Explanation
    Long bones have a medullary cavity, which is a hollow space filled with bone marrow. This cavity is found in the diaphysis or the shaft of the long bone. The medullary cavity contains yellow bone marrow, which is responsible for storing fat. Long bones, such as the femur and humerus, are characterized by their cylindrical shape and consist of a hard outer layer called compact bone and a spongy inner layer called cancellous bone. The presence of a medullary cavity distinguishes long bones from other bone types listed in the question.
