The appendectomy you are about to observe is your second surgical case in surgical technician school. The patient, David Sims, is an 18- year-old male who was healthy until two days ago when he began having severe abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting resulting in a diagnosis of appendicitis. David is in excellent health and has never had surgery before, so you anticipate the procedure to go smoothly. Your instructor asked the anesthesiologist, Dr. Hodges, if you can observe her today during the procedure. "All of the patient's vital signs and lab work are within normal limits so we are good to go," says Dr. Hodges as David is brought into the operating room. You help get David ready by applying the heart monitor, oxygen saturation monitor, and blood pressure cuff. After David has been sedated, Dr. Hodges places a special tube down his esophagus to measure his core body temperature and another in his trachea (an endotracheal tube) to help him breathe…arrow_forwardHypertrophy, hyperplasia and increases in extracellular material are forms of A. growth B. reproduction C. development D. metabolism E. movement F. cellular composition G. responsiveness H. organizationarrow_forward

Many cancer cells were trapped in the capillary bed but most of them were not able to escape the blood into the tissues. c. Most of the cancer cells were trapped in the capillary bed but only a small percentage formed macrometastases d.

I learned that stem cells can proliferate into any kind of cell in the body. These cells can be very beneficial for repairing damaged tissues and replacing dead tissue. So, if stem cells have so many uses and benefits why are they not more abundant in the human body? What are the benefits and risks of an increase of stem cells? Do the benefits outweigh the possible problems? Is an increase in stem cell numbers only worth while when an injury has occurred such as in stem cell therapy? Thank youarrow_forwardNew treatments for several conditions are being developed using stem cells in medical waste, such as biopsy material, teeth, menstrual blood, umbilical cords, and fatty tissue removed in liposuction. For example, fat samples from injured horses are used to grow stem cells to treat tendon injuries. Explain how the two defining characteristics of stem cells enable them to be used to replace damaged or diseased tissue, so that the new tissue functions as opposed to forming a scar.arrow_forward
