Question

Which of the following correctly differentiates how an anatomist versus a physiologist would study the effects of a muscoskeletal disease?

A.) Anatomist: effect on muscle contraction; Physiologist: effect on tendon thickness

B.)Anatomist: effect on tendon thickness; Physiologist: effect on muscle contraction

C.) Anatomist: effect on bone metabolism; Physiologist: effect on bone growth

D.) Anatomist: effect on bone growth; Physiologist: effect on bone metabolism

I think it's B or D, but I'm not sure I may be wrong, help

Answer 1

could you help please? @Luigi0210 @.Sam.

Answer 2

All I really know is that Anatomist study structure while Physiologist studies function..

Answer 3

know anyone thats good at this kind of stuff? like I think I'm supposed to apply knowledge of "musculoskeletal diseases" to figure out this question or something

Answer 4

I don't see many people online that know about @Zale101 @Somy

Answer 5

I'll go with what luigi said! :)

Answer 6

But isn't muscoskeletal disease about pain/injuries tho? So I don't think C and D, about bone growth really fit..

And I haven't given an answer yet Zale xD

Answer 7

I wasn't referring to the answer. I wont give away the answer just like that when you're helping.

Answer 8

I'd take an educated guess and say B because muscle contraction is a function, just like physiologist's study.

Answer 9

isn't metabolism a function too?

Answer 10

Yea, it is.. so I guess the challenge is deciding which best fits with the disorder/disease. :/

@shrutipande9 maybe?

Answer 11

so I guess the question is, what better relates to musculoskeletal diseases, tendons/muscles or bones?

Answer 12

This is the best I got http://prntscr.com/639z49

Answer 13

i guess B then

Answer 14

Anatomist is basically interested in structure or simply speaking anatomy, like length, thickness, material etc while physiologist is interested in life processes like how things work, metabolic reactions etc.

Answer 15

D is not correct since it says that Anatomist is interested in the study of bone growth. Anatomist are not interested in questions like How?

Answer 16

Now I think you can guess the correct answer :)

Answer 17

Nutshell,

Anatomist = Thickness, length, breadth, material, number etc.

Physiologist = Mechanism, Metabolism, Growth, other functions.

Answer 18

so B? (:

Answer 19

\(\huge \checkmark\)

Answer 20

wow okay thank you @Abhisar , that was a tricky one for everyone

Answer 21

Welcome ^_^

Hmmm, Options are close :)
