A young woman sees her doctor with complaints that the bones in her left knee regularly dislocate, or move out of their usual pl
ace, painfully. Which of the following is the most likely conclusion to be drawn from this? Her knee joint's synovial fluid is not an effective lubricant between her bones.
Her bones have become perforated and brittle due to lack of calcium in her diet.
Her cartilage has deteriorated, providing less cushioning and causing her pain.
Her knee ligaments are weakened or injured so they can't stabilize the bones
Option D, Her knee ligaments are weakened or injured so they can't stabilize the bones
Explanation:
Ligaments act as a strong bands of body tissue whose main function is to provide connection between two bones or cartilages. It also supports bones and cartilages.
One of its major function is to provide strength and support to a joint so that it do not move too far from its line and get dislocated.
Here, the young woman has knee dislocation issue and since supporting a joint is the function of ligand , it is sure that some problems are there with the ligand
Her knee ligaments are weakened or injured so they can't stabilize the bones
Explanation:
Ligaments are dense connective tissues that serve to connect bones to each other. Ligaments are made by definite arrangement of collagen fibers in particular pattern. Weakening or injury to ligament makes the joints unstable. Since ligaments are not strong enough to hold the bones together, weakened or injured ligaments lead to bone dislocation. The woman with complaint of regular bone dislocation in her left knee must have weak or injured ligaments that can’t stabilize the bones.
Simple contusion is also known as bruise or commonly known as black eye which is used to describe the discoloration that occurs around an eye after a trauma to the eye or surrounding tissues
It is caused by broken blood vessels under the surface of the skin is typically accompanied by swelling
A serious condition that can accompany a black eye is bleeding inside the eye, in the space between the back side of the cornea and the front of the iris which is called hyphema
Scleral hemorrhage
Scleral hemorrhage also known as subconjunctival hemorrhage
When small and delicate blood vessels break beneath the tissue covering the white of the eye (conjunctiva), resulting eye redness then this condition is known as subconjunctival hemorrhage
A subconjunctival hemorrhage usually is benign, causing no vision problems or significant eye discomfort despite its conspicuous appearance
But eye redness also can be a sign of other types of potentially serious eye conditions
