- Clinical diagnosis is based on an understanding of the underlying anatomy. When a patient explains their history and symptoms, they are giving the clinician hints about the anatomy and how it functions. For each of the following, a symptom will be given, along with an anatomical explanation for that symptom. Please indicate if the following explanation is an accurate (true) description of the anatomy and the cause of the symptom listed: 48. Peripheral swelling: Right sided heart failure can lead to peripheral swelling because the blood that should be propelled through the aorta to the rest of the body, via the right ventricle, is instead backed up to the lungs 49. Shortness of breath: If the mitral valve is not functioning properly, the patient can experience shortness of breath due to the blood backing up into the left atrium each time the left ventricle contracts, causing the blood to move backwards into the pulmonary veins and eventually the lungs.

- you've entered a gross anatomy lab in a medical school. you notice something odd about the cadavers. The skin of the thorax has been removed; the muscles, arteries, and veins are exposed. The thorax is exposed, and the hearts and lungs have been cleared of the pleura and pericardium. the rest of the cadaver, however still intact. which approach to the study of gross anatomy must they be using ?arrow_forwardWhen injecting the head, the term that suggests the relationship to the internal body organs would be: a. proximal b. distal c. visceral d. peripheralarrow_forward1.
