FOURTH FUNCTION OF THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM
- A.
TENDON SUPPORT
- B.
VENOUS BLOOD RETURN
- C.
ANTIBODY FORMATION
Correct Answer
B. VENOUS BLOOD RETURNExplanation
The fourth function of the muscular system is venous blood return. The muscles in our body help in pumping blood back to the heart from the veins. When the muscles contract, they squeeze the veins, which helps in pushing the blood towards the heart. This process is especially important in the lower extremities, where gravity makes it difficult for blood to flow back up to the heart. The contraction and relaxation of muscles play a crucial role in maintaining proper blood circulation throughout the body.Rate this question:

OSTEOMYELITIS IS BEST DETECTED BY WHICH TEST
- A.
ELECTROMYOGRAM WITH ATOMIC DYE
- B.
CT SCAN
- C.
BONE SCAN
Correct Answer
C. BONE SCANExplanation
Osteomyelitis is an infection of the bone, and the best test to detect it is a bone scan. A bone scan involves injecting a small amount of radioactive material into the bloodstream, which then accumulates in areas of the bone that are actively undergoing repair or inflammation. By using a special camera to detect the radiation, areas of increased activity can be identified, indicating the presence of osteomyelitis. An electromyogram with atomic dye is not a suitable test for detecting osteomyelitis, as it is used to evaluate muscle and nerve function. A CT scan can provide detailed images of the bone, but it may not always be able to differentiate between infection and other bone abnormalities.Rate this question:

IN A BONE SCAN ATOMIC DYE IS GIVEN BY IV WHEN
- A.
24 HOURS BEFORE PROCEDURE
- B.
DURING THE PROCEDURE
- C.
2-3 HOURS BEFORE PROCEDURE
Correct Answer
C. 2-3 HOURS BEFORE PROCEDUREExplanation
The correct answer is 2-3 hours before the procedure. This is because the atomic dye needs enough time to circulate throughout the body and be absorbed by the bones before the scan takes place. Giving the dye too close to the procedure may not allow enough time for proper distribution and absorption, leading to inaccurate results. Giving the dye 24 hours before the procedure would be too far in advance and may result in the dye being cleared from the body before the scan. Giving the dye during the procedure would not allow enough time for proper distribution and absorption.Rate this question:

AFTER A FRACTURE OF THE FEMUR 48 HOURS AGO THE NURSE NOTICES PETECHIAE ON THE CHEST,NECK AND CONJUNCTIVA, SHE SUSPECTS
- A.
FAT EMBOLISM
- B.
DVT
- C.
DEVELOPING G AS GANGRENE
Correct Answer
A. FAT EMBOLISMExplanation
The presence of petechiae on the chest, neck, and conjunctiva after a fracture of the femur 48 hours ago suggests a fat embolism. Fat embolism occurs when fat globules from the bone marrow enter the bloodstream and travel to various organs, causing microvascular occlusion and tissue damage. The petechiae are a result of small blood vessel rupture due to the occlusion. This is a known complication of long bone fractures, particularly in the femur. DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and developing gas gangrene are less likely to present with petechiae in this context.Rate this question:
