Practical vectors in medicine:
On any given ECG
Calculate the AXIS of the movement of electricity (and say whether it is right axis, left axis or normal.)
On a patient with a broken leg
Set up traction on a vulcan frame
I'm sorry I don't have any pictures/vectors to give numbers. The solution will depend on the actual vectors involved.
You could probably make up a question about Buck's traction...
Incline the bed at 30degrees head down, with a patient weighing 80kg with his leg in straight traction for a leg fracture. Have a pulley at the end and a weight hanging from it. What weight (downward force) would you need to balance the pull from an 80kg male at 30 degrees head down?
Pull from this patient is 80.sin30.9.8 N
Equivalent force from the weight will have to be 392 N and the weight will have to be 40kg
Hmmm - maybe 30 degrees is a bit much. That's a lot of weight to lug about (or a big bag of water in some hospitals).

Vector is another form of geometry. Any geometrical problem can be modeled with Vectors. One such use iis the MRI or CAT scan where the images are made produced by CALCULATING blood flow in a magnetic field. Potential or intensity= d(phi)/dt
phi= mag field (dot) area vector. So the dot product

In medicine, Vector means disease carrying agent. The term is usually applied to insects, ticks and the like, that transmit disease causing parasites from one living being to another. The Anopheles mosquito is a vector transmitting malaria parasite.

In drugs, a ailment inflicting agent is termed Vector. many times the term is utilized to bugs, ticks etc. that transmit ailment inflicting parasites from one animal/guy to a diverse. classic occasion:Anopheles mosquito which transmits parasite that reasons malaria answer: wreck the Vector, avert them from multiplying.

Sorry I only had one. Hope someone else has 2.
