External carotid artery

the defect, symptoms, causes and treatments. The right side of the heart picks up oxygen by moving blood to the lungs. The oxygen-rich blood then goes to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart then moves it to the aorta; the main artery that transports oxygen-rich blood to the body (“Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)”). VSD causes the person’s…

Here I hypothesize that trauma is an example for a robustness failure in a biological system. Robustness, can be defined most generally as a property that allows a system to maintain its functions against internal and external perturbations [1]. The body uses feedback systems to achieve robust, dynamic response in the presence of trauma. For instance, when a patient bleeds severely, they experience hypovolemic shock. The loss of blood prevents adequate oxygenated blood from reaching vital organs…

Hydrosalpinx represents fluid trapped in a distended fallopian tube with distal occlusion, and occurs in the setting of previous pelvic inflammatory disease. The appearance on grayscale ultrasound is of a tubular and elongated cystic mass with incomplete septations or indentations along its walls (“waist sign” or “cogwheel”)[18]. In order to fully appreciate the tubular structure of the cyst, the ultrasound probe may be turned by a 90° angle, and a seemingly simple cyst will appear to be tubular…

Coronary illness is a condition that emerges from expanded measures of atheromatous plaques that accumulate inside the corridors. Many individuals who build up this condition may not start demonstrating indications until years after they have at first built up the illness. The most risky side effect of this ailment is a heart assault, and this will for the most part happen after the atheromatous plaques break separated and start limiting the stream of blood into the heart. Coronary course…

Powerlab 4 Questions When taking our subject’s different capacities, we found that her inspiratory capacity (IC) was 5.58 L, vital capacity (VC) was 5.85 L, functional residual capacity (FRC) was 1.74 L, and her total lung capacity (TLC) was 7.32 L. When comparing these numbers to the averages for a woman’s capacity we find that: her IC was more than double of that of an average woman (5.58 L compared to 2.4 L); her vital capacity was greater than average as well (5.85 compared to 3.1 L).…

this is not available it may be necessary to do a suprapubic cystostomy through a short vertical stab incision just above the pubic symphysis (Mundy, 1997). In complex injuries, an abdomino-perineal approach may be necessary, in which case the whole abdomen will need to be prepared for a long anterior midline incision. Some experts prefer to use the exaggerated lithotomy position to give access to the perineum (Mundy, 1997). V.c. Principles: The general principles of anastomotic…

Breathing rate is the number of breaths or the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration, per unit of time, the most common unit of time is per one minute. In this experiment and investigation I can determine that the breathing rate increases as exercise is done. This is because the muscles in the body require more energy, which is achieved by reacting oxygen with glucose, and thus oxygen volume amount would have to be increased, which is achieved by taking in or inspiring…

difficulty in diagnosis without taking the blood pressure. Symptoms may include body pains, headache, fatigue, dizziness and other end organ specific symptoms such as poor vision. • Aneurysms: An aneurysm is an irregular swelling in the wall of an artery. Aneurysms mature and develop for years without initiating signs or symptoms until they break, grow big enough to press on immediate body areas, or block blood movement. The signs and symptoms…

Rhabdomyolysis is “A possibly fatal condition in which skeletal muscle breaks down due to injury such as physical damage to the muscle, high fever, metabolic disorders, excessive exertion, convulsions or anoxia of the muscle for several hours, large amounts of myoglobin are usually excreted.”(Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 1097) In acute renal failure myoglobin precipitates in the tubules obstructing the flow through the nephrons and causing injury. Damage to the myocyte causes an influx of sodium…

Laparoscopic assisted colon endorectal pull-through Overview: Laparoscopic assisted endorectal pull-through colon is minimally invasive surgery for Hirschsprung's disease; the part of the colon that does not have nerve cells is pulled through the anal canal and cut away, while the healthy end is sutured to the rectum. In addition to anal, surgical instruments, and a narrow lighted instrument with a video camera at the end (laparoscope) is inserted into the abdomen through four holes to mobilize…
