Accepted Answer

Heddy Bachman's symptoms of bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, and resting tremors are classic signs of Parkinson's disease, which is characterized by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain.

Question 10

A condition characterized by an incomplete vertebral formation around the spinal cord is:?&#10;A) ?poliomyelitis&#10;B) ?sciatica&#10;C) ?spina bifida&#10;D) ?hydrocele

Accepted Answer

Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is an incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord.
