the conditions of its fluids stable and constant. Each system keeps the body stable by adding and/or removing substances from the body. The respiratory system uses the trachea, lungs, tubes such as the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, and the diaphragm to transport gases into, throughout, and out of the body to maintain a stable internal environment. The respiratory functions to supply an animal with the oxygen it needs to live while ridding the body of carbon dioxide, which is vital to the…
The respiratory system is a vital factor of gas exchange due to its structure. The structure provides an efficiency to the process due gas exchange requiring an efficient system. Gas exchange requires an efficient system because it is a process through which blood circulates around the body, collects oxygen, delivers the oxygen to the organs that require it and releases carbon dioxide. Oxygen enters the body, and carbon dioxide exits the body in opposite the direction. Gas exchange occurs across…
1. Introduction The second trimester scan is a routine ultrasound examination in many countries that is primarily used to assess fetal anatomy and detect the presence of any fetal anomalies. The second trimester extends from 13 weeks and 0 days to 27 weeks and 6 days of gestation although the majority of these studies are performed between 18 and 23 weeks. (Chudleigh & Thilaganathan, 2004) 2. Patient’s history The patient is a 31 year old pregnant female, with unsure dates of her last menstrual…
Also known as the thoracic diaphragm. Thermoregulation Thermoregulation is the process that allows the body’s temperature to stay the same, it is like having an internal thermometer. A part of it is called Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels by relaxing it makes it go to…
First, I would do a lung volume test. This test measures the volume of air in the lungs at distinct periods of the breathing cycle. It is accomplished utilizing a machine called the plethysmography. You are seated during the exam and will be asked to breathe in and out of a mouthpiece and sometimes to gasp for air (Ranu et al., 2011). The exam is specifically beneficial in distinguishing between restrictive lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis and obstructive lung diseases such as asthma.…
them for thromboembolism. After examining the pulmonary arteries, I detach the heart from the lungs by cutting the pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins close to the pulmonary hila. Next I need to cut the inferior vena cava as it comes through the diaphragm. After this the heart can be removed and weighed. Next, the lungs must be freed from the remaining hilar structures by cutting along the pulmonary hilum. After the lungs are freed they need to be weighed individually and the results recorded…
spinal cord and extremities, and in some cases surgery in order to fix contractures or spinal deformity. Furthermore, gene therapy has been very successful in directly restoring acid a-glucosidase production and activity in crucial tissues like the diaphragm in order to improve respiratory…
I. Introduction: A. (Attention Getter) “You can’t beat zero heartburn.”-Larry the cable guy (Quote) B. (Problem) According to Healthsource, ten to twenty percent of U.S. adults everyday, and more than sixty million people at least once a month are affected by heartburn (Statistic). Heartburn that occurs often is known as GERD, or, gastroesophageal reflux disease. C. (Central Idea/Thesis) GERD is a chronic condition that affects quality of life, and can contribute to risk of other illnesses. II…
"For anyone not familiar with practical optics the results are astonishing," he says. Willach's own experiments looking through an old-school lens with a diaphragm at an optician's chart bear that out. "The whole text becomes sharp and clear, nearly as good as seen with a modern optical instrument"”(Henbest,2015). Once this was perfected the modern day telescope was made and here we are today. It has been…
Male Condoms, Female Condoms, Contraceptive Sponge, Cervical Cap, Diaphragm, Implant, Cooper Intrauterine Device, Hormonal Intrauterine Device, Combination Pill, Hormonal Pill, Patch, Shot, Vaginal Ring, Vasectomy, Levonorgestrel, and Ulipristal Acetate. The Condoms either go over the Penis or in the Vagina. The Contraceptive Sponge is like a Female Condom but it is a Sponge and not Latex. The Cervical Cap (a covering) and Diaphragm (a disk) are very similar, in a way that they cover the Cervix.…
