Chapters 3&4
Based on the readings from this week, answer the following questions. Remember to follow the format outlined at the beginning of the semester for assignments.
Chapter 3 Questions:
1. Athletic trainers and other professionals who work with athletes must know the basic structure and function of tissues so they can understand basic body mechanics. If someone asks an athletic trainer what type of tissue forms the tendons and ligaments of the body, what would be the answer? (2 points)
Connective tissue is they type of tissue that forms the tendons and ligaments of the body.
2. What is the role of tendons? The role of ligaments? (2 points)
Tendons attach muscle to bone and ligaments attach bone to bone.
3. Draw a cell with its major components. (3 points)
4. Demonstrate diffusion by placing a cube of sugar in a cup of coffee; do not stir it. After 2–3 minutes, taste the liquid. What have you discovered?
The cube is high in concentration and when it dissolves it becomes low in concentration. It diffuses: molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
5. Explain what is meant by tissue typing. Why has this become so important in recent years? (3 points)
A tissue type test is a blood test that measures substances called antigens on the surface of tissues. Checking the antigens can tell if donor tissue is compatible to transplant to another person. Antigens can tell the difference between normal body tissue and foreign tissue (for example, tissue from another person's body).The success of a transplant depends on how closely the antigen patterns match. The antigen patterns are most likely to be similar when the donated organ or tissue comes from a close relative of the person.
Select ONE of the following three scenarios and answer it. (5 points)
6a. Bob is told that he has a benign tumor in his abdomen. He is scared and confused about what the tumor is and how it got there. How should you
