Question 23

If a person becomes ill and the symptoms indicate infection by a parasitic organism, treatment will depend upon correct diagnosis of the problem. What category of anatomic study would be most appropriate for identifying an infectious agent in the blood or muscle tissue? What kinds of effects would an infection in the blood or muscle tissue have?

Answer 23

The level of anatomic study would be microscopic-either cytologic or histologic- or pathologic. Cytologic studies would examine the blood itself, while histologic studies would examine muscle tissue removed during biopsy. Cytologic studies and histologic studies look in blood and muscle samples for pathogens as well as any increase in WBCs, results of inflammatory responses, and the presence of cellular debris. Pathologic studies look for anatomic changes in organs as a result of infection

Question 24

Lynn was knocked off her bicycle during a race. She damaged a nerve in her antebrachial region, suffered an abrasion in her patellar region, and broke bones in her sacral and crachial regions. Explain where each of these injuries is located

Answer 24

• Antebrachial=forearm
• Patellar=kneecap
• Sacral=posterior region between the hips
• Brachial region= the arm

Question 25

Your grandmother is being seen by a radiologist to diagnose a possible tumor in her small intestine. Explain what imaging techniques would best determine whether a tumor exists, and which imaging techniques would be inadequate for determining the placement of the tumor

Answer 25

The best techniques would be computed tomography and MRI, but they are expensive. Sonography may provide some information; it would probably not be very precise, but it is inexpensive. Radiography would only provide some information if used in conjunction with radiopaque dyes
