Basics of Science
When a patient comes in for an evaulation, a health care provider must listen to the problem, perform an exam, and then do THIS, before starting a treatment
What is a hypothesis?
Sound waves pass through tissue and bounce back into a transducer, for a computer to create an image.
What is an Ultrasound or Sonogram
This organ functions as a very powerful pump.
What is the Heart?
This vital sign is measured in mmHg, and the higher it is, the higher the risk of damage to the heart
What is blood pressure?
He said "Therefore I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine, and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance infect and pollute others, and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me, however, I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely, as stated above. See, this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God."
Who is Martin Luther?
This is the number one Googled health question of 2019.
What is how do I lower my blood pressure?
A strong magnet is used to flip electrons around, and then a computer converts the message into a very detailed picture
What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)?
This organ system uses electric impulses that travel in series to relay messages back and forth to the Brain
What is the nervous system?
This happens if a bone has enough stress (force) placed against it. It happens more easily if it a smaller bone.
A Trichtobezoar can result in an appendicitis or intestinal blockage due to consuming large amounts of this.
What is human hair?
This law of physics allows your foot to push yourself off the sidewalk or your arm to propel you through the water
What is Newton's 3rd law?
This is a graph the electrical impulses through different parts of the heart
What is an electrocardiogram (EKG- the "K" is kardiogram- German)?
This organ uses gas exchange to supply cells with oxygen and nitrogen
What are Lungs?
Hemodynamics is the study of this.
What is blood viscosity and osmotic pressure?
Photic Retinopathy is a result of staring at this without protection.
Solar Eclipse
Publishing false scientific information, stealing someone else's ideas or sabotaging other's work are all examples of this.
What is scientific misconduct?
Gamma rays are directed into a very narrow beam to kill cancer cells.
What is radiation therapy?
This organ system uses mass, force and levers to move the body.
What is the musculoskeletal system?
This device is used to assist in the delivery of the baby, and uses the physics principles of pressure, trajectory and force
Vacuum extractor
The smallest bones in the body are located in this organ.
McBurney's Point, which is applying pressure to a specific place in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, can diagnosis this condition.
What is appendicitis?
This is the largest organ in the body?
What is the skin?
A coup contrecoup injury happens when the brain is sloshed back and forth inside the skull resulting in brain injury, usually the result of a traumatic accident due to these physics principles.
What is inertia and acceleration?
Your stomach actually "drops" when you experience a rollercoaster, but your body cannot feel velocity. What does it feel?
What is the change in velocity (acceleration)?
