Question

question 244
your patient has a condition which literally means \puffed up or inflated/refers to.\ what outcome will this disease most likely have in the patient?
barrel chest
defective mucus glands
dilated windpipe
pus - filled chest

question 245

some paralysis
paralysis of all four limbs

question 246
the surgical term for the repair of cartilage is called:
oste/o/tomy
burs/o/tomy
anthr/o/clasia
chondr/o/plasty

Explanation:

• Question 244: The term "puffed up or inflated" is related to emphysema. A common physical finding in emphysema is a barrel chest (increased anteroposterior diameter of the chest due to hyperinflation of the lungs). Defective mucus glands are seen in cystic fibrosis, dilated windpipe (tracheomegaly) has other etiologies (e.g., relapsing polychondritis in some cases), and pus - filled chest is more related to empyema.
• Question 245: The prefix "quadri - " means four. "Plegia" means paralysis. So quadriplegia is paralysis of all four limbs. Paralysis of the lower limbs is paraplegia.
• Question 246: The root "chondr/o" refers to cartilage. "Plasty" means repair. "Oste/o/tomy" is related to bone (oste/o = bone, tomy = cutting), "burs/o/tomy" is related to bursa (burs/o = bursa), and "anthr/o/clasia" is related to joints (anthr/o = joint).

Answer:

• Question 244: barrel chest
• Question 245: paralysis of all four limbs
• Question 246: chondr/o/plasty
