Editor's Notes

  1. The correct answer is C: adductor. (Answer A is misspelled. Answer B means a muscle that draws a limb away from the body. Answer D is misspelled.)
  2. The correct answer is A: dyspnea; dys- means painful; -pnea means breathing. Remember, medical terms do not need to have a root or combining form. Dyspnea, for example, has a prefix and a suffix with an imbedded root.
  3. Antigen examples: poison, flu virus, bacterium Immune reaction: reaction between an antigen and antibody What is a common name for an immune reaction against normally nonthreatening antigens?
  4. Discuss how Rh condition occurs. First pregnancy with Rh+ baby: the baby is not affected but the Rh- mother is sensitized. Second pregnancy with Rh+ baby: the baby develops hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). Symptom of HDN: jaundice. How can the condition be prevented? (Prevent Rh condition with Rh immune globulin injection to Rh- woman within 72 hours of delivery, miscarriage, or abortion of an Rh+ fetus.)
  5. The correct answer is B: leukocytes or white blood cells.
  6. What are some examples of congenital anomalies? What are some causes of nonhereditary congenital anomalies?
  7. Describe the recombinant DNA technique used to manufacture insulin outside the body. What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR)?
  8. List a syndrome example (other than Reye syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome), and ask students to list the symptoms.
  9. Notice the facial features in the ultrasound image. What is an echocardiogram?
  10. Have students pronounce each term. Which syllable is accented (stressed) in each of these terms?
