Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The anatomical positions are important in identifying the location of body parts. Based on the anatomical position, it is called as posterior, ventral, anterior, dorsal, superior, medial, inferior, proximal, and so on.

Answer to Problem 1TYR

Correct answer:

Keeping the mouth close is not considered as anatomical position. Therefore, option dis correct.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

When the mouth is closed, it makes a voluntary movement and it could not be taken as an anatomical position. Anatomical position should be of involuntary movement.

Option (d) is given as, “mouth closed”.

While standing in an anatomical position, one must open the mouth a little wider.

Hence, option (d)is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as, “feet together”.

While standing in anatomical position, the knees should touch each other on the lateral side and feet should be together by touching at the ankles. Hence, it is a wrong answer

Option (b) is given as, “feet flat on the floor”.

In anatomical position, while standing upright, the feet should be flat on the floor by touching each other at the ankles. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as, “palms forward”.

While standing upright in anatomical position, elbow should touch the adjacent of the torsoand the palms should be facing forward with fingers open.Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (e) is given as, “arms down to side”.

While standing in anatomical position, the arms should be touching the sides of the torso and it should be let freely down with palms facing forward. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

In anatomical position, all the body parts must be able to identify easily.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
