All good but For Number 3, you could add the presence of a bifid spinous process
Your turn!

1) Almost 2/3 of melanoma in men is caused by what?

2) Explain how MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) treatment functions.

Dr. Burnham is taking Pete Davidson’s blood pressure. Due to personal reasons, Pete has not been able to go
outside for quite a bit of time. As the inflating arm cuff puts pressure on Pete’s brachial nerve, his wrist and thumb
suddenly undergo a strong spasmodic flexion. His other fingers are extending.

-What sign is Pete exhibiting?

-What condition does this indicate?

1. oncogenes
2. When MSH is bound to rhenium-188, it binds to melanocyte receptors, accumulating in the cells that make up metastatic melanoma. Rhenium-188 emits alpha particles, which kills the tumor cells, but are too large & heavy to penetrate very far, & are harmless to healthy cells around the tumor.
3. Trousseau's sign, hypocalcemia

All good, but could you give me the name of the oncogene?

Don't be discouraged by the terminology and questions! This question marathon can have some pretty good stuff. Disease questions (like treatment, diagnosis, etc) in anatomy can be some of the harder questions that are asked, as it is very open-ended. In the case that you don't know a whole lot about them, study them one by one in-depth using sources like Mayo Clinic or I daresay Wikipedia.
