Chapter 3, Problem 38CAQ
Three patients in an intensive care unit are examined by the resident doctor. One patient has brain damage from a stroke, another had a heart attack that severely damaged his heart muscle, and the third has a severely damaged liver (a gland) from a crushing injury in a car accident. All three patients have stabilized and will survive, but only one will have full functional recovery through regeneration. Which one, and why?

- Name two specific tissues that regenerate well and two that regenerate poorly.arrow_forward] Mr. X, aged 85, was recently diagnosed with a particular type of brain tumor and was referred to Dr. Y, chief of surgery at the nearby university hospital, for further evaluation. This type of tumor is benign in 60% of cases and is malignant in the other 40% of cases. Mr. X’s remaining lifetime will depend on the type of tumor (benign or malignant) and on the decision whether or not to remove the tumor. The table below shows the estimates of Mr. X’s remaining lifetime according to the most up-to-date information known about this type of tumor. Tumor Leave tumor Remove tumor Benign 8 5 Malignant 1 5 Dr. Y could perform exploratory surgery before deciding whether or not to remove the tumor to assess the status of the tumor better. Exploratory surgery indicates a benign tumor 75% of the time if the tumor is indeed benign. The surgery is known to indicate a malignant tumor 65% of the time if the tumor is indeed malignant. Exploratory surgery itself is dangerous: there is a 5% chance…arrow_forwardOne of your classmates plays on the soccer team.

- Match the following asaparrow_forwardA hypothetical organ has the following functional requirements : (1) the ability to resist surface abrasion and mechanical stresses;(2) the ability to contract involuntarily when stimulated by cells of the nervous system; and (3) the ability to resist tension in many different planes of force. The organ needs one tissue to carry out each of these requirements, and it also needs one tissue to " glue" all other tissues together, and one tissue to stimulate the contracting cells. What are the five tissues that will make up this hypothetical organ ? Justify your choices .arrow_forwardA pathologist uses monoclonal antibodies against several intermediate filament proteins and finds that a tumor section stains positive for cytokeratin only.

One theory is that a Covid infection leads to chemicals circulating through the bloodstream that end up impacting the blood-brain barrier and the brain's ability to launch an inflammatory response against the virus. Based on this, what two cell types do you think are most likely to be affected? Oligodendrocytes and microglia O b. Astrocytes and Schwann cells O c. Microglia and Schwann cells o d.
