Anatomy 1: Blue Boxes Chaper 1-Test 1 Flashcards
Paronychia
staphulococcus aureus infection between the nail and the nail fold
Boil
staphylococcus aureus infection of the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
cabuncle
staphylococcus aureus infection of the superficial fascia; frequently at the nape of the neck and starts as an infection in the hair follicle
sebaceous cyst
caused by an obstruction of the moth of a sebaceous duct and may be caused by damage by a comb or infection; frequently seen in scalp
skin grafting-split thickness graft
the greater part of the epidermis including the tips of the dermal papillae is removed from the donor site and is laced on the recipient cite
skin grafting-full thickness graft
includes both the epidermis and the dermis and to survive requires rapid establishment of a new circulation within it at the recipient site
What may a flaccid muscle suggest?
either the afferent, the efferent or both neurons involved in the reflex arc necessary for the production of muscle tone has been interrupted
In poliomyelitis, if the motor anterior horn cells at the spinal cord that innervates the muscle level has been affected, what will occur? if hypertonic?
the efferent motor neurons will not function; there’s a possibility of a lesion involving higher motor neurons in the spinal cord or brain
necrosis of cardiac muscle
a sudden block of one of the large branches of coronary artery that supplies the heart will inevitably lead to necrosiss and often death
syringomyelia
sensation of pain in a joint is lost
gonococcal arthritis
affects large synovial joints like the ankle, elbow, wrist
tuberculous arthritis
affects synovial joints and may start in the synovial membrane or in the bone
Bursae and synovial sheaths are commonly the cite of?
traumatic or infectious disease (ex inflammation of the prepatellar bursa because of repeated kneeling)
arteries that become kinked because they are over joints during movements, does not interrupt distal flow of blood because of?
adequate anastomosis is usually between branches of the artery that arise both proximal and distal to the joint
dermatome
area of the skin supplied by a single spinal nerve and therefore a single segment of the spinal cord (overlap on the trunk); a reagion with complete anesthesia had to have at least 3 contiguous spinal nerves sectioned
