ONE DAY AFTER THE OTHER There was once a boy named Charlie who had hoped for a life better than what he got stuck with. Charlie was a normal child from the city of New York. A single mom raised him and both had struggled to make ends meet. One day Charlie was sent to school when he received a phone call that his mother was in the hospital. He took the bus, waiting anxiously. As the bus had picked up different people from different parts of the city, Charlie was growing more and more anxious…

The subphylum Vertebrata includes all the familiar animals we tend to see everyday, and some rare and unusual ones (O’Neil, 2012). Scientists classify the seven different Vertebrates based on their skeletal system, general environmental adaptation, and reproductive systems. These seven Vertebrates include, Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia. During the lab dissection, the class dissected organism from only four of these classes. First, we dissected the…

Mechanical Ventilation and the Effects on the Cardiopulmonary and Renal Systems Amanda K. Godshall West Chester University Abstract The important objective of this paper is to explore mechanical ventilation and the many effects it has on a patient’s organ systems. The cardiovascular system can be affected along with the pulmonary and renal systems. Cardiovascular side effects depend upon the previous underlying cardiopulmonary status of each patient. Conditions pertaining to…

Preoperative evaluation Cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting and surgery for valvular disease, represents one of the most common classes of surgical procedures performed worldwide. Advances in the percutaneous management of coronary artery disease as well as in cardiac surgical techniques have led to improved outcomes with consequent longer life expectancy for patients. Greater numbers of patients with depressed left ventricular function, multiple comorbidities, failed…

Maintaining the control of Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen The respiratory centre knows how to control the breathing rate and depth by the amount (or percent) of carbon dioxide, oxygen in the blood. There are receptors, called chemoreceptor’s, in the arch of the aorta and throughout the arteries that send signals and feedback to increase or decrease the ventilator output depending on the condition of these metabolic variables. For example, when you exercise, carbon dioxide levels increase…

With the left ventricle’s strong pumping action, blood is ejected to the rest of the body via the aorta. When the left ventricle cannot efficiently pump blood out of the ventricle into the systemic circulation, pulmonary venous blood volume and pressure build up, leading to fluid accumulation in the lung instigating left-sided heart failure. Common causes…

The uterine arteries are large branches of the hypogastric arteries, whereas the ovarian arteries originate directly from the aorta. The veins accompany the arteries. Therefore venous drainage from the fundus goes to the ovarian veins and blood from the corpus exits via the uterine veins into the iliac veins. The lymphatic drainage of the uterus is complex. The majority of lymphatics…

QUESTIONS 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of coronary artery atherosclerosis. Include discussion of risk factors associated with the development of this disease. (10 points) Coronary artery atherosclerosis is most commonly comprised of atherosclerotic fibrous fatty obstructions of the large epicardial vessels, which provide for blood flow and transport nutrients, oxygen, and elimination of metabolic waste products such as CO2, lactic acid, and hydrogen ions. Coronary artery atherosclerosis…

1.0 INTRODUCTION: 1.1 Oral Drug Delivery System: Oral route is the most common route of drug administration. Modern drug delivery strategies try to improve oral drug delivery.1 When a new drug is discovered, a pharmaceutical industry asks one of the first questions is whether the drug can be effectively administered for its intended effect by the oral route or not. If patient self administration cannot be achieved, the sale of drug constitute only small fraction of what the market would be…
