Hi bobbym,

Good attempt!

#676. Name the medical term / phrase : These are several groups of muscles that run between the ribs, and help form and move the chest wall. They are mainly involved in the mechanical aspect of breathing. These muscles help expand and shrink the size of the chest cavity to facilitate breathing.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #676 (Intercostal muscles) is perfect. Marvelous!

#677. Name the medical term / drug : A drug belonging to the group of beta blockers (sometimes written β-blockers), a class of drugs used primarily in cardiovascular diseases. Introduced in 1976, it was developed as a replacement for propranolol in the treatment of hypertension. It works by slowing down the heart and reducing its workload.

Hi bobbym,

#678. Name the medial term :  (in dentistry) : a developmental disturbance in shape of teeth. It refers to an angulation, or a sharp bend or curve, in the root or crown of a formed tooth. The condition is thought to be due to trauma or possibly a delay in tooth eruption relative to bone remodeling gradients during the period in which tooth is forming. The result is that the position of the calcified portion of the tooth is changed and the remainder of the tooth is formed at an angle.

Hi bobbym,

#679. Name the medical term / phrase : Sound-induced vertigo, dizziness, nausea or eye movement (nystagmus).It was first described in 1929 by the Italian biologist  (1881–1941) During his experiments on pigeons, he discovered that by drilling tiny holes in the semicircular canals of his subjects, he could subsequently cause them balance problems when exposed to sound. The cause is usually a fistula in the middle or inner ear, allowing abnormal sound-synchronized pressure changes in the balance organs.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #679 (Tullio phenomenon) is correct. Magnificent!

#680. Name the medical term :  Any defect of very small blood vessels, usually capillaries, which is most common in diabetes, especially if poorly controlled. Despite thickening of the vascular basement membranes by a hyaline-like material, which corresponds to advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), the vessels are leaky and allow transvascular passage of plasma proteins. AGEs or advanced diabetic microangiopathy-induced ischaemia directly impacts on the retina, the kidney and the peripheral nerves.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi bobbym,

#681. Name the medial term / phrase : It provides motor innervation to both layers of the muscular layer, having both parasympathetic and sympathetic input, whereas the submucous plexus has only parasympathetic fibers and provides secretomotor innervation to the mucosa nearest the lumen of the gut. It arises from cells in the vagal trigone also known as the nucleus ala cinerea, the parasympathetic nucleus of origin for the tenth cranial nerve (vagus nerve), located in the medulla oblongata. The fibers are carried by both the anterior and posterior vagal nerves.

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #682 (aneurysm or aneurism) is perfect. Magnificent!

#683. Name the medical term : In embryogenesis, it is a depression in the roof of the developing mouth in front of the buccopharyngeal membrane. It gives rise to the anterior pituitary (adenohypophysis), a part of the endocrine system. The pouch, and therefore the anterior pituitary, is derived from ectoderm. The pouch eventually loses its connection with the pharynx giving rise to the anterior pituitary. The anterior wall of it proliferates, filling most of the pouch to form pars distalis and pars tuberalis. The posterior wall forms pars intermedia.
Embryogenesis is the process by which the embryo forms and develops. In mammals, the term refers chiefly to early stages of prenatal development, whereas the terms fetus and fetal development describe later stages.

Hi bobbym,

#684. Name the medical term / phrase : (Also known as  occipitofrontalis muscle) : A muscle which covers parts of the skull. It consists of two parts or bellies: The occipital belly, near the occipital bone, and the frontal belly, near the frontal bone. In humans, it only serves for facial expressions. The occipitofrontalis muscle receives blood from several arteries. The frontal belly receives blood from the supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries, while the occipital belly receives blood from the occipital artery. The occipitofrontalis muscle is innervated by the facial nerve.

Hi bobbym,

#685. Name the auditory portion of the inner ear. It is a spiral-shaped cavity in the bony labyrinth, in humans making 2.5 turns around its axis, the modiolus. A core component of it is the Organ of Corti, the sensory organ of hearing, which is distributed along the partition separating fluid chambers in the coiled tapered tube of it.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi David and bobbym,

The Answer #685 (cochlea) is correct. Good work, David and bobbym!

#686. Name the medical term : Benign tumors derived from cells of the vascular or lymphatic vessel walls (endothelium) or derived from cells of the tissues surrounding these vessels. They are a frequent occurrence as patients age, but they might be an indicator of systemic problems such as liver disease. They are not commonly associated with malignancy. They usually appear at or near the surface of the skin anywhere on the body, and may be considered bothersome depending on their location. However, they may be present as symptoms of another more serious disorder, such as cirrhosis. When they are removed, it is generally for cosmetic reasons.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #686 (Angioma) is correct! Excellent!

#687. Name the medical term / phrase : (abbreviated MG) It is either an autoimmune or congenital neuromuscular disease that leads to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue. In the most common cases, muscle weakness is caused by circulating antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction, inhibiting the excitatory effects of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine on nicotinic receptors at neuromuscular junctions. Alternatively, in a much rarer form, muscle weakness is caused by a genetic defect in some portion of the neuromuscular junction, that is inherited at birth as opposed to developing it through autoimmunity later in life or through passive transmission by the mother's immune system at birth.
