Some of the symptoms to watch out for are bowel habits such as diarrhea and/or constipation, blood in stools, persistent abdominal discomfort, weakness and unexplained weight loss. The…

growing in the colon, and a colonoscopy may detect a polyp before turning into cancer, the study will promote colonoscopy as a screening process (Wong, Ching, Chan, & Sung, 2015). The insurance companies reasoning could be that any testing is good enough. A colonoscopy may seem too expensive; therefore, the fecal may be the insurance companies’ recommendation. Well, the argument would be that it would cost much more to cure cancer than to remove the polyps before becoming…

of living things. They are known as the “rainforests of the oceans.” This is because there are sea slugs, oysters and many other creatures living there. Corals are animals related to anemones and jellyfish. They extend their tentacles to sting. A polyp is an individual coral consisting of a stomach with a tentacle-bearing mouth. Thousands of them live together forming a colony. Sponges are one of the earliest animals in the coral reef. They appear in a lot of different shapes and colors.…

adequate oxygenation or ventilation for the blood. Respiratory failure is caused by impaired ventilation or perfusion mechanism in the lungs. Colon Cancer Colon cancer arises from the epithelial lining of the intestine. It may start as a benign polyp and become malignant. “It will invade and destroy normal tissue and extend into surrounding structures” (Hinkle & Cheever, 2014).

kingdom they are classified to is animalia(eukaryotic and multicellular organism) and belongs to phylum cnidaria, which is a taxonomic rank below kingdom and above class. Theoretically, members of Cnidaria have life cycles that alternate between asexual polyps (the body as a vase shaped form), and sexual, free-swimming forms called medusae (singular medusa; the body in a bell-shaped form), New World Encyclopedia said. Lacking in the sensory systems that correspond to some organs jellyfish are…

Who gets colon cancer? It is never quite known who gets colon cancer but there are risk factors for it. Colon cancer does kill about “…40,000 in America annually” (Adrouny, Richard 1). It has become the fourth most frequent type of cancer. Men will probably get it more than women but even though colon cancer is more prevalent in men than women it still has a high percent in women. Women still tend to get breast cancer and lung cancer before colon cancer though. The biggest risk factor of colon…
