1. Agnosia - ANS ✓defect of pattern recognition—a failure to recognize the
form and nature of objects
2. Most common cause of meningitis - ANS ✓Meningococcus (Neisseria
meningitidis) and pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) are the
most common pathogens -> strep throat
3. Diet and the prevention of prostate cancer - ANS ✓Mediterranean diet
(MD) has been shown to reduce risk and progression of disease including
cancers
Total fat intake, animal and saturated fat, red meat, and dairy products are
associated with an increase in prostate cancer risk

8. Neurofibromatosis - benign nerve sheath tumors - ANS ✓autosomal
dominant disease
9. Ions that initiate muscle contraction - ANS ✓calcium combines with
troponin
10. physical plate - ANS ✓retains the ability to form and calcify new
cartilage and deposit bone until the skeleton matures approximately 1

11. Bones belonging to the appendicular skeleton - ANS ✓· the
shoulder girdle (pectoral girdle)
12. Signs and Symptoms of infection - ANS ✓fever, tachycardia,
hypotension, septic shock, toxic shock, hypovolemia, respiratory alkalosis,
and hyperventilation, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and DIC
13. Mechanisms responsible for the increase in antimicrobial
resistance worldwide (9) - ANS ✓Antibiotic resistance, horizontal gene
transfer, Genetic information can be transferred by means of
transformation (uptake of short DNA fragments from the environment), by
transduction (transfer of DNA by means of viruses that infect bacteria,
bacteriophages), or by conjugation (transfer of DNA, usually in the form of
circular plasmids, through pili connecting the bacteria).
-A single plasmid may contain a large amount of genetic information for multiple
types of antibiotic resistance.
- Enzymatic inactivation of antibiotics is one of the most common forms of
resistance
-Another major form of antibiotic resistance is caused by multi-drug-resistance
transporters (MDRs). MDRs are members of a diverse and widely expressed
family of transmembrane proteins that are designed to protect the cell by
diminishing the rate of intracellular accumulation of antimicrobials by
preventing entrance or, more commonly, increasing active efflux of the antibiotic.
- Antimicrobial resistance occurs naturally overtime, usually through genetics.
However, the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials is accelerating this process.
