What is haemophilia and what causes its symptoms?

It's the inability of ones blood to properly clot. I believe it's usually caused by a genetic disorder which causes people to lack certain critical blood clotting proteins.

What is the Babinski sign and what is normal for adults?

No idea.

How many cranial nerves are there?

Don't know. One?

Where is the plantaris muscle located? (Origin and insertion would be nice)

Again I'm guessing this is a muscle of the feet due to the plantar root but I don't know anything more than that.

Why is the protein sonic hedgehog so named?

I know of this but I don't know the answer. I think Sonic is a gene/protein that's important in speech development or something like that.

Why is folate supplementation recommended for women wishing to become pregnant?

Don't know

What was (and still is) the best known medical treatment (as opposed to surgical) for Parkinson's Disease, and why does it work?

Taking drugs that boost Dopamine production? I believe many of the symptoms of Parkinsons stem from a lack of Dopamine.

Good. Haemophilia A is a deficiency of coagulation Factor VIII, B is deficiency of Factor IX.

The Babinski sign is elicited by firmly stroking from heel to toe on the lateral side of the sole of the foot. In normal people this should produce a plantarflexion of the toes - they curl downwards. Babies and people with an upper motor neuron lesion curl their toes upwards.

12. Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducent, Facial, Vestibulocochlear, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, and Hypoglossal. Between them, they provide all sensation and all innervation to the muscles of the head, and some of the neck. The vagus nerve also provides parasympathetic stimulation to much of the viscera - heart, lungs, gut, etc.

The plantaris is, when present, a small muscle on the calf. It runs from the lateral side of the femur down to the medial side of the calcaneus, or heel bone. For most of its length it's tendinous; muscle forms only a small part of its length, somwhere between the knee joint and about a third of the way down the calf.

Sonic hedgehog is a very important protein in human development. And it is so called because in drosophila (fruit flies), when it is absent, aside from a host of other deformities, the flies form little projections, like the spines of a hedgehog. The protein is known as a morphogen - it helps create direction and distance signals in embryos, with the help of other morphogens. Deficiency of sonic hedgehog affect the development of pretty much all organ systems in the body in some way.

The reason that folate is an essential vitamin, even for adults, is because folate recycles vitamin B12, which in turn is necessary for production of the bases required for DNA. Therefore, without folate or B12, cells can't divide. This is extremely important in embryos, when they are rapidly growing. In particular, the condition that folate supplementation is aiming to prevent is anencephaly, where the tissues that forms the spinal cord and vertebrae don't join properly, and the brain kind of just lolls around because there is no support.

Pretty good. Dopamine agonists are a good line of research, but for a long time the best treatment for Parkinson's was giving levo-DOPA, a dopamine precursor that would survive the gut and cross the blood-brain barrier, and get metabolized into dopamine in the brain, where it would have therapeutic effect.

Just to let you know, the difference between an artery and a vein is that an artery carries blood away from the heart, and a vein carries blood back to the heart. This is evidenced by the structural aspects of both; arteries are designed for high-pressure flow, and veins for low pressure. In fact, the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood back to the heart, and the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart, to the lungs.

And PO Q6H PRN stands for per orally, per six hours, per requirement - information of drug dosing; in this situation, probably for some kind of pain relief, like ibuprofen or paracetamol.

This is kind of irrelevant. "Trochlea" is just a description. Just like the 'artery' in 'renal artery' is just a description. I stand by what I said, and this is supported by text in several anatomical textbooks. If you can provide a credible source (like a textbook or journal article) that both uses an alternative nomenclature and argues strongly against use of the term 'trochlea' for the other two structures I named (due to the nature of your claim, it is not enough to say that they have alternative names), then I will correct what I earlier wrote. Moreover, I would like evidence saying there is a named trochlea in the knee joint, please.

However, I would like to make an addendum to my original post; the dorsal aspect of the talus is also known as the trochlea.

ok, i can accept that.

it's synonymous with the patellofemoral groove.

1. What's the difference between cement and concrete?

BoomerD got it right. Cement is the chemical agent which is activated by water and binds together the aggregate (sand, stone, flyash, etc.) to create concrete.

2. What is the name of the naturally occuring finish of copper exposed to the elements and what famous US landmark first seen by millions of immigrants displays this feature?

BoomerD got it right. The it's called patina and it's the Statue of Liberty.

3. Which aircraft's leading edge is so dangerous to ground crew that guards must be installed on it when the aircraft is on the ground?

Blackbird? Nope, DominionSeraph got it. F-104 Starfighter.

4. Spoilers are located where on commercial passenger aircraft and their purpose is to do what?

Change the aerodynamics of the wing so it no longer provides lift, or not as much. Correct

5. Ram-Air parachutes are made primarily made out of which two materials (common names) and what is the difference between them?

No idea. would Kevlar be one of them? No. F-111 and ZP or Zero-Porosity. F-111 is a nylon based fabric which allows approximately 0-3 CFM of air to pass through 1 sq. ft. of fabric. ZP is also a nylon based fabric, but is treated with a silicone based coating to which doesn't allow air to pass through it. F-111 is now primarily used for reserve and military canopies while most sport canopies are made with ZP.

6. What are the five components of a landing pattern?

No idea. DominionSeraph got it right

7. The chicken or the egg. Which came first?

Neither. There is no sharp evolutionary boundary between any two species. Change is gradual and there is no point at which one can point to a before animal and an after animal in any single generation and say this is NOT a chicken and this IS a chicken.

I think that DominionSeraph has a pretty strong argument with "The egg. Dinosaurs laid eggs and they predated chickens"

1. right and left

2. in the sella tursica (turkish saddle), below the hypothalamus.

3. decreased erythropoetin

4. measles, mumps, rubella, diptheria, tetanus, pertussis.... the a stands for and. sometimes, it's dropped... i've heard it called dtap, dpat, or dpt.

5. blood vessels branching off and reconnecting

6. lol at first i thought you were asking "anti-edemic"... anyway, anti-emetics are anti-nausea/vomiting meds

yup

Very good. The 'a' actually stands for 'acellular', as a contrast to a live pertussis vaccine.

Double-landlocked means that it's landlocked by another country that's also landlocked.

sorry, misread the elements one...

i can't think of a single country that is double land-locked. every country i can think of is either bordered by water or is landlocked by another country that has a water border.
