ANSWERS/A+ RATED
A by-product of involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation is: - -heat
-A patient has a blood pressure of 130/70 mm Hg. The "130" in this
measurement represents: - -ventricular contraction
-A patient has a large accumulation of blood in the sac surrounding the
heart. Which type of shock would this condition cause? - -Obstructive
-Bile is produced by the liver and concentrated and stored in the: - -
gallbladder
-If a patient's chest barely moves during inhalation, even if the patient's
respiratory rate is normal, you should suspect that: - -minute volume is
decreased
-Large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are generated when: - -the
cells function with adequate oxygen
-Pathophysiology is the study of the functional changes that occur when the
body reacts to a particular: - -disease
-The ___________ is made up of the maxilla and zygoma, as well as the frontal
bone of the cranium. - -orbit
-The ____________ is a muscular dome that forms the inferior boundary of the
thorax, separating the thorax from the abdomen. - -diaphragm
-The brain connects to the spinal cord through a large opening at the base
of the skull called the: - -foramen magnum
-The central nervous system is composed of the: - -brain and spinal cord
-The waste products of aerobic metabolism include: - -carbon dioxide and
water
-Urine is transported from the kidneys to the urinary bladder via the: - -
ureters
-What happens when blood volume is lost from the body? - -The arteries
contract to increase the blood pressure
, -What is the function of the fallopian tubes? - -To transport a mature egg to
the uterus
-Which of the following is NOT a function of the skin? - -metabolic
coordniation

quadrant of the abdomen? - -spleen

soaked towel over the wound, but it continues to bleed rapidly. You should: -
-apply a tourniquet proximal to the wrist
-A 25-year-old unrestrained female struck the steering wheel with her chest
when her car hit a tree while traveling at a high rate of speed. She has signs
and symptoms of shock, which you suspect are the result of intrathoracic
bleeding. Which of the following interventions will provide this patient with
the greatest chance for survival? - -Rapid transport to a trauma center
-As you approach a patient lying at the side of the roadway, you observe
severe bleeding from the leg. What should your first action be? - -control the
bleeding
-Distributive shock occurs when: - -widespread dilation of the blood vessels
causes blood to pool in the vascular beds
-Foods, medications, and insects are common causes of ________ - -
anaphylactic shock
-Hypovolemic shock caused by severe burns is the result of a loss of: - -
plasma
-In an acute injury setting, neurogenic shock is commonly accompanied by: -
-hypothermia

shock
