Bonnie, a 52-year-old female, has been having some mild pain in her legs recently and is not sure if she should be concerned about it. She decides to visit her primary care physician since the pain isn’t going away. Bonnie tells her physician that the pain feels like a “general soreness or ache” and seems to be worse on the left side. Her physician notes that the left lower leg seems slightly swollen when compared to the right and feels slightly warmer than the right leg.
Bonnie has a history of smoking (1-2 packs/week in her 20s and 30s). She has a BMI of 29. She travels often to see her family that lives across the country. The only medication she has ever taken regularly was oral contraceptives. Now that she is peri-menopausal, she has been treating her symptoms with hormone replacement therapy.
Which of the following factors would NOT be related to Bonnie’s risk of DVT?
Recent surgery
Childhood disease history
Family history…

- You decide to do a series of experiments to determine where the toxin has its effect. You accomplish this by using a good, old- fashioned sciatic nerve/gastrocnemius preparation from a frog leg. This preparation dissects out the sciatic nerve (which contains the alpha-motor neuron fibers) still connected to the gastrocnemius (calf) muscle as shown below. The prep is placed in artificial ECF. Muscle Nerve Femur When you stimulate the nerve electrically, the muscle contracts. When you directly stimulate the muscle electrically, it also contracts. You then add the curare to the artificial ECF. Now, when you stimulate the nerve, the muscle no longer contracts. However, when you stimulate the muscle directly, it does contract. Based solely on these data, this means curare is potentially acting on: O Either the alpha motor neurons' ability to conduct action potentials, or the muscle's ability to conduct action potentials, but not on the neuromuscular junction. O Either the alpha motor…arrow_forwardYou are at the gym and doing strength training. You feel in good shape and decided to try to break your personal records in squats. You place the bar on your back and begin to push down, that is, your motor neurons that begins to send action potentials through all your motor units to the quad muscles. 1. What is the contraction called when you a) bend down b) are in good shape and can generate more force than what the bar weighs c) stay standing in one and the same position without being able to push yourself up while standing?arrow_forwardWhen motor nerve fibers in the leg are severed, the muscles they innervate become paralyzed; however, in time, control over the muscles often returns. Why/how is this possible?arrow_forward
- Russell is 72 years old and is still working part-time as a professor. He has noticed some arm and hand shaking in the past year, but assumed it must be related to low or high blood sugar levels because he has had some issues with that in the past. However, the shaking/twitching has become more consistent lately and does not seem to be correlated with his diet. Russell’s doctor said that the stress of his job could be the problem, so he took the entire summer off from teaching.When he returned to work in the fall, Russell and his students noticed that his handwriting has become nearly illegible. Drinking a cup of coffee without spilling had also become a challenge. Russell returned to his doctor, who performed a physical exam and a few tests. Here are the notable results: shuffling gait, mild bradykinesia, mild voice tremor, intermittent rigidity of the limbs, and normal EEG.Which of Russell’s physical exam findings could be related to a brain condition?arrow_forwardRussell is 72 years old and is still working part-time as a professor.
