The inflammation process occurs as a reaction to the cells resulting from injury. The mediators of the tissue injury resulted in capillary dilation, which increased blood flow and permeability resulting in leaking of fluid. The site of injury increased leukocytes that resulted in white cells to migrate to the affected areas, thus producing a systemic response of fever (Effects of burn injury, 2010). The thermal injury was localized to the skin and systemic response to the area, resulting in a…

Myelin is imperative for the functioning of adequate conduction velocity speed in axons. Myelin is made of water, lipids and proteins and appears white in color. This combination of lipids and proteins form a whitish protective cover or sheath over the axon of numerous nerve fibers. This sheath covering the axon speeds up the impulses that are being conducted, which is important in the transmission of impulses in our body. Without myelin speeding up conduction, the impulses would decelerate.…

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) occur when alveoli of the lungs are filled with fluids due to severe injury or illness. This fluid buildup instead of air in the alveolar air sacs causes decreased level of oxygen transfer from the lungs to the blood stream. A chest x-ray will show clinical appearance of acute pulmonary edema without elevated left atrial pressure or cardiogenic causes (Brochard, 2011). This will cause a severe deprivation of oxygen to vital organs and leads to multi-system…
