Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Oximeters operate on the principle of spectrophotometry, which is based on the relative transmis-sion or absorption of portions of the light spectrum. Amperometry refers to measuring an electri-cal current at a single applied potential. A plethysmograph is a type of instrument that is used to measure changes in volume within an organ or the entire body. Potentiometry uses changes in voltage to measure pH and PCO2.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Point-of-care blood gas analyzers use solid-state sensors, which rely on either fluorescence tech-nology or thin-film electrodes that have been fabricated onto silicone chips. The microelectrodes are incorporated into a single-use disposable cartridge that also contains calibration reagents, a sampling stylus, and a waste container.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.
