Tester

Part I:

1. Elaine’s body uses cutaneous blood vessels to retain heat in cold weather and shivers to raise her body temperature.

a. Cold sensors are thermoreceptors in the skin.

b. The “thermostat” is located in the hypothalamus.

c. The effector is for blood vessel constriction is the contraction of vascular smooth muscle. Shivering results from the contraction of the skeletal muscles, which produce heat.

2. The distal extremities and exposed tissues are the most vulnerable to frostbite.

Part II:

1. Since the parka was wet from being outside, it would result in heat loss due to evaporation indoors.

2. Hypothermia triggers shivering.

3. The knee was swollen because of leaking fluids from torn tissues.

4. The dorsalis pedis pulse would be taken at the foot because it is important to check the pulse near the affected area.

5. The lateral meniscus connects to the lateral condyle of the femur as well as the lateral condyle of the tibia. The medial meniscus connects with the medial condyle of the femur and medial condyle of the tibia, and the patellar is located in the quadriceps tendon ligament.

6. The medial surface of the knee includes the medial collateral ligament and the medial meniscus
