Integumentary system

The innate aspect of the immune system has been negatively affected from this injury, and as Grossman and Porth (2014) described, the “the destruction of the skin also prevents the delivery of cellular components of the immune system to the site of injury” (p. 1570). Broad spectrum antibiotics may be used to reduce this risk, due to the high mortality of burn-related sepsis. Reverse…

The endocrine system is not really affected by this disease. Most unaffected is the integumentary system, the only way in which this body system is affected is that once in an advance stage of Alzheimer’s the person can no longer care for their body and their skin or hair my suffer from this. The musculoskeletal system suffers much more than the integumentary system from the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s. As the disease progresses the…

integument, urinary, or reproductive systems. The skin is the largest organ of the body. In a normal male about 5 billion sperm mature on daily basis. The average penis size is less than 6 inches long. The human bladder can stretch to hold about 400 ml of urine. If one kidney fails to function and is removed, the other kidney can increase in size by 50% within two months to handle the entire filtration. I chose to pick three fun facts from the reproductive system. 1 fun fact is breastfed…

LIFTING AND TRANSFERING  Body mechanics is moving the body in an efficient and safe way that reduces the risk of injury. Body mechanics is using good posture, proper techniques, and using the strongest and largest muscles when you can. Good body mechanics are extremely crucial as DSW’s working in residential programs because we are often doing a lot of lifting and transferring of significant amounts of weight (the weight of another human being). We can be easily injured if we do not use proper…

identification of a boundary-maintaining entity or process” (p.7). A number of systems were noted and intertwined within the movie. Within each system, a different side of the individual was portrayed. Systems theory “describes human behavior in terms of complex systems. It is premised on the idea that an effective system is based on individual needs, rewards, expectations, and attributes of the people living in the system. According to this theory, families, couples, and organization members…

purpose of the immune system is to defend the body against any foreign invaders that might do the body harm by using a series of immune responses to prevent the entry or survival of any foreign body. The human immune system uses three types of responses: barriers, nonspecific defenses, and specific defenses. Barriers and nonspecific defenses are innate or rather they are the defenses humans are born with while specific defenses are acquired throughout our lifetime. The immune system is also…

oligodendrocytes and myelin sheaths of the central nervous system (CNS) deteriorate and are replaced by hardened scar tissue. To understand how MS affects the nervous system, we must understand how neurons transmit messages. Neurons transmit messages through the nervous system across a small gap called the synapse. At the synapse, electrical impulses are converted into chemical impulses in order to cross the synapse. A normal functioning nervous system includes healthy myelin sheaths that allow…

One of the most frightening things about certain diseases is that they can seemingly occur for no reason. You couldn’t have done anything to prevent it, and there was nothing you could have done differently. Other times, diseases can be caused by taking preventative precautions, receiving vaccinations, making healthy lifestyle choices, or avoiding particular situations. Meningitis is a disease that can encompass many of those factors. You may come across many different forms of meningitis,…

The head and neck are part of the body that is very important integrating several systems. A lot of vital activities like eating, drinking, seeing, hearing and breathing are done through the head structures. When the nurse assess those the head and the neck it is s assessing several systems at the same time. The eyes are located in the orbital cavities of the skull is an important part of the head and its function is essential to perform different activities. The ears are one of the structures…

with a holistic approach in order gain an all-inclusive perspective. Specifically, the following factors will be addressed in the assessment: biological, neurobiological, psychological, social, and the developmental aspects of Emma. Further, the systems theory and the ecological perspective will be employed as methods of explaining presenting issues of the case. Presenting Problems As noted in the case study, Emma was referred to the Family Services Agency by her pediatrician for further…
