Chapter 17, Problem 3CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the strong sense of odor of preservatives while entering a A and P lab for dissection and later the loss of the smell while working in the lab.
Introduction:
The ability of smell is achieved by olfactory organs that are a part of the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is lined with the olfactory sensory neurons that aids in detecting the fragrance from the airborne particles. As the air enters the nasal cavity, the particles also enter the cavity along with the air. The swirling action of air brings the water and fat soluble odorants in contact with the sensors.

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2point) to see a quick demonstration of two-point discrimination. Touching a specialized caliper to the surface of the skin will measure the distance between two points that are perceived as distinct stimuli versus a single stimulus. The patient keeps their eyes closed while the examiner switches between using both points of the caliper or just one. The patient then must indicate whether one or two stimuli are in contact with the skin. Why is the distance between the caliper points closer on the fingertips as opposed to the palm of the hand? And what do you think the distance would be on the arm, or the shoulder?
why do audiologists use electroacoustic measures in diagnostic audiology?

One month later, Mr. B began to have chest pains and shortness of breath, so his primary care provider referred Mr. B to a cardiologist for further evaluation. The cardiologist ordered an echocardiogram and stress test which revealed heart enlargement and a reduced ejection fraction (volume of blood pumped out of the heart per minute).

- Procedure: Two-point threshold Test your partner’s ability to recognize the difference between one or two points of skin being stimulated simultaneously. To do this, follow these steps: Have your partner place a hand with the palm up on the table and close his or her eyes. Hold the tips of a forceps tightly together and gently touch the skin of your partner’sindex finger. Ask your partner to report if it feels like one or two points are touching the finger. Allow the tips of the forceps to spread so they are 1 mm apart, press both points againstthe skin simultaneously, and ask your partner to report as before. Repeat this procedure, allowing the tips of the forceps to spread more each time untilyour partner can feel both tips being pressed against the skin. The minimum distancebetween the tips of the forceps when both can be felt is called the two-point threshold.

An associate at her workplace told Julie that the sclera of her eyes looked “yellow.” When she contacted her physician, she was told to come directly to the physician’s office for evaluation. When she arrived, as a precaution, Julie was taken to an exam room reserved with a protocol for strict infection control. Her vital signs were temperature 101.6, pulse 94, respirations 26, and blood pressure 148/88. Julie stated that her muscles felt sore. A urine specimen was collected and sent to the laboratory. On physical examination, liver enlargement was noted, as well as mild jaundice of the sclera. Julie’s clinical history was unremarkable, except that she mentioned that she had recently spent time at summer camp as a youth counselor. During this time, she was living in close quarters.
