DSA iSAP: Clinical Action Plan Abdominal Angiography: Simulated Case Study of Gastrointestinal Bleeding Clinical Concerns & Imaging Goals A 50-year-old male patient present to Emergency Department with hematochezia. Patient’s CT demonstrated active bleeding in his rectum. Generally, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is caused by multitudes of pathologic processes, it has an intermittent nature and it could be a life-threatening condition for the patient (Cherian et al., 2009). Hence, it is crucial…
Abstract: Using the PhysioEx.9.1 software, I ran Activity 4: Simulating Filtration lab to learn about the filtration of solutes in a membrane system. This experiment was conducted using four solutes: NaCl, urea, glucose, and powdered charcoal. The goal was to learn if any of these solutes passed through the three different dialysis membranes at varying pressures. Does increasing the pore size increase filtration rate? What effect will pressure have on the filtration rate? These are the…
generally aerobic and endurance related. During aerobic exercise the muscle is extracting oxygen from the blood supply to feed the muscles with sufficient energy, over a 20 week period the capacity of capillaries may have adapted and increased so that the capacity for oxygen exchange between tissue and capillaries can be improved and this would lead to a better control of metabolism in muscle fibres. Due to the change in the muscle fibres more oxygen is being provided and this leads to a better…
circulation from heart to lungs Systemic circulation: circulation from lungs to organs Gas exchange is the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the blood and the movement of carbon dioxide from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs in the capillaries, which are microscopic vessels in the lungs. In humans, nutrients and oxygen are transferred through the bloodstream. Cells can’t rely solely on diffusion, so this transport system is important. Gas Exchange in Cells Diffusion is the…
system- To move blood and lymph throughout the body. Diagram that includes the major parts - heart, artery, vein, capillary - and list the function(s) of each.The heart's function is to pump blood throughout the body the Arteries function is to carry blood away from the heart Vein- returning deoxygenated blood back to the heart after arteries takes the blood out. the function of the Capillary is to move oxygen and other nutrients from the bloodstream to other tissues in the body. Describe each…
power is a "terminal, capillary form of power; a final relay, a particular modality by which political power, power in general, finally reaches the level of bodies and gets a hold on them, taking actions, behaviors, habits, and words into account; the way in which power converges below to affect individual bodies themselves, to work on, modify, and direct what Servan called "the soft fibres of the brain"" (40). It is a process of transmitting information through capillaries of "able-bodied"…
Oligosaccharide structures are strongly associated with their potential biological activities. Despite the biological activities of oligosaccharides have known for years, the lack of structural details limits the study of their potential applications. A rapid and effective method for identifying oligosaccharides is desirable yet the complete structural characterization of novel oligosaccharides remains challenging. The high polarity nature and highly branching, isomeric structures makes…
activity increases. Muscles stores sugar and it is burned when there’s more activity, creating heat. After the initial reaction of shivering, the body begins to feel numb. This reaction is caused by the constriction of capillaries over the appendages. The walls of the capillaries close in and blood is pushed towards the body’s core. Heat is retained to protect vital organs. If the environment changes in temperature, the body will respond. Homeostasis would not be possible if the body did not…
Respiratory systems vary from species to species but the basic anatomy for Serpentes suborder is straightforward. The average Serpentes respiratory system has two external nares, two internal nares, and a nasal cavity. While Serpentes have a nose, their nose is only meant to be another pathway for respiration. They are not used to smell like a human nose is used for. Serpentes have a glottis that is a vertical slit because it is always closed. The glottis is situated right behind the tongue and…
As a rule, the gill area is greater in fast-moving crabs (Portunids) than in sluggish bottom dwellers; decreases progressively from wholly aquatic, to intertidal, to land species; and is greater in young crabs than in older crabs. Often the gills are enclosed in protective chambers, and ventilation is provided by specialized appendages that create the respiratory current. As in cephalopod mollusks, oxygen utilization is relatively high—up to 70 percent of the oxygen is extracted from the water…
