Hi bobbym,

#726. Name the medical term : A disorder in which there is a relative decrease of thrombocytes, commonly known as platelets, present in the blood. A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. These limits are determined by the 2.5th lower and upper percentile, so values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease. One common definition of this disorder that requires emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000 per microliter.

Hi bobbym,

Good attempt!

#727. Name the medical term / phrase : The alkaline secretion produced by glands in the wall of the duodenum, consisting of water, mucoproteins, and hydrogencarbonate ions. It helps to counteract the highly acidic and proteolytic chyme entering the small intestine from the stomach, and thus protects the duodenum from damage. It was formerly believed to contain digestive enzymes, but duodenal enzymes are now known to be confined to cells of the brush border.

Hi David and bobbym,

The Answer #726 (Thrombocytopenia and thrombopenia) is correct! Excellent, Davd!

The Answer #727, bobbym : succus entericus.

728. Name the medical term / phrase : A membrane-covered opening which leads from the middle ear to the vestibule of the inner ear. Vibrations that come into contact with the tympanic membrane travel through the three ossicles and into the inner ear. It is the intersection of the middle ear with the inner ear, and is directly contacted by the stapes; by the time vibrations reach the it, they have been amplified over twenty times from what they were when they contacted the tympanic membrane, a testament to the amplifying power of the middle ear.

Hi bobbym,

#732. Name the medical term :  The breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids. In general, this occurs by the hydrolysis of the peptide bond, and is most commonly achieved by cellular enzymes, but may also occur by intramolecular digestion, as well as by non-enzymatic methods such as the action of mineral acids and heat.

Some are affected by changes in the function of the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to dangerous abnormalities in heart rate and blood pressure.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi bobbym,

The Answer #741 (Prolactinoma) is correct! Magnificent!

#742. Name the medical term : (Also known as "Rose gardener's disease") It is a disease caused by an infection of e fungus. This fungal disease usually affects the skin, although other rare forms can affect the lungs, joints, bones, and even the brain. Because roses can spread the disease, it is one of a few diseases referred to as rose-thorn or rose-gardeners' disease. Because the fungus is naturally found in soil, hay, sphagnum moss, and plants, it usually affects farmers, gardeners, and agricultural workers. It enters through small cuts and abrasions in the skin to cause the infection. In case of the fungus affecting the lungs, the fungal spores enter through the respiratory pathways. It can also be acquired from handling cats with the disease; it is an occupational hazard for veterinarians.
