course of ansa cervicalis
It courses deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and loops around the internal jugular vein. Branches from the ansa cervicalis innervate the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and omohyoid muscles.
where does the phrenic nerve pass thorugh
between the pericardium and mediastinal pleura.
explain the principle of radioimmunoassay

posterior femor dislocation
what is
leg with a posterior hip dislocation appears shortened and internally rotated, with the hip held in flexion and adducti
what is atmoxietene
Atomoxetine is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor used in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
what causes ankylosis in RA
Ossification of the pannus can lead to fusion of the bones across the affected joint (bony ankylosis).
buprior MOA
Bupropion is an antidepressant that does not cause sexual dysfunction. It is classified as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor.
what is myositis ossificans
a benign condition that develops after contusion to large muscle groups (eg, quadriceps femoris), not small muscles such as the lumbricals. Patients typically report pain in the affected muscle and a palpab
which factor mimics factor 8
Emicizumab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, mimics the normal physiologic function of factor VIII and can be used to prevent or treat bleeding in patients who have factor VIII inhibitors. This antibody has 2 binding sites; one site binds to factor IXa and the other binds to factor X, which brings them into close proximity and allows factor IXa to cleave factor X into its active form (Xa).

acetiminophn toxicity
cetaminophen poisoning typically causes nausea, vomiting, and malaise in the first 24 hours after ingestion. Liver failure occurs later, and patients typically have jaundice, tachypnea, and confusion (ie, hepatic encephalopathy) that may progress to coma.
why pericardial effusionc asues decrease v clear lung firleds
Clear lung fields are typically seen because the increase in pericardial pressure (due to pericardial fluid accumulation) affects the lower pressure, right-sided heart chambers more than the left-sided heart chambers. When right-sided obstruction to blood flow is greater than left-sided obstruction, pulmonary edema is unlikely to develop.
what happens to circulation on elevated body temp
Appropriate responses to elevated temperature include decreased vasodilation (ie, vasoconstriction) of the splanchnic vasculature, which promotes blood flow from the internal organs to the skin, and peripheral vasodilation, which allows for heat dissipation.
how does dendritic cell become active
When activated, dendritic cells migrate to the lymph nodes and spleen where they display antigen with MHC II and co-stimulatory molecules to activate T-cells and B-cells.
