Chapter 17, Problem 3CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
A wasp stung a person, who is allergic to wasp venom, on the neck and her throat starts to swell and respiratory passage constricts. Determine the treatment between acetylcholine and epinephrine that would help in relieving the symptoms.
Introduction:
A wasp’s stinger contains a poisonous substance known as venom, which is transmitted to humans when wasp stings. It results in extreme pain, swelling, inflammation, and itching at the sting site. To relieve the symptoms epinephrine would be more useful.

- Fill in the numbered blanks with the name of the structure that corresponds with the number in the following paragraph. Fluid for the CSF is derived from the bloodstream. The sites of CSF formation are the (1), special tiny capillaries located in the walls of (2), (3), and (4). Cells that line the ventricles have cilia that move the CSF and are called (5). The two lateral ventricles are separated by a thin membrane called the (6). CSF flows by cilia movement from the two lateral v entricles through the interventricular foramen to the (7). From here, the CSF flows through the (8) into the fourth ventricle. The CSF leaves the fourth ventricle through three openings: the median aperture and two lateral apertures. CSF is now located in the (9) space around the brain, and circulates all around the cerebrum and cerebellum. CSF continues to flow into the inner part of the spinal cord by flowing through the tiny (10) of the spinal cord, as well as around the exterior of the spinal cord in the…arrow_forwardMr. Q, age 64 years, developed a severe headache several hours ago that has not responded to acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is a family history of CVA(Cerebrovascular Accident) and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiography indicated a narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery.
