Nasal cavity

1. Do nasal strips help with performance? (You must put the answer this in your own words. DO NOT plagiarize) Nasal strips have negative effects on performance. The effects are due to the inhalation and the exhalation being minimized to enhance the performance; with or without oxygen. Moreover, this is an inactive solution that will attract athletes to increase their performance. The negative effects will effect those who are not physical active or elite. The negative effects and non-effective…

Gastrointestinal Tract This essay will be reviewing the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), looking at the components and their functions. It will explore how the system works, how it can be assessed by a clinician and the ethical and practical issues related to when assessing the GI tract. In relation to this, I will also be analysing how the endocrine system and autonomic system correlate to the gastrointestinal tract. How it functions Marieb (2016) states that the gastrointestinal tract…

next part of the respiratory system, which is the windpipe or the trachea. The trachea can be distinguished by its stiff C-shaped rings of cartilage, which reinforce it to prevent it from collapsing and to keep the airways open. Much like the nasal cavities, the trachea is also lined with its own cilia, but with a substance called ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium which secretes mucus to protect the trachea from harmful matter. This mucus is removed from the body through coughing,…

secreting glands located throughout the palate, nasal and oral cavity. Salivary gland cancer is uncommon. Also, it is about 2% of head and neck tumors forming in the salivary glands, the majority in the parotid. The range incidence happen in the year bout 0.4 to 13.5 cases per 100,000. [14]. can distinguish this disease through know some symptoms such as pain,fluid ,draining from the ear, numbness, weakness,a lump, and trouble swallowing the most type of salivary gland cancer when gland has a…

For my Medical Terminology class, I had to choose a topic that surrounded our main lecture of chapter nine, neonatology disease and disorders. My disease that I have chosen is Cleft Palate or Palate. A Cleft Palate is when there is a split or an opening in the roof of the mouth. It can involve the hard palate which is the bony front portion of the roof of the mouth, or the soft palate which is the soft back portion of the roof of the mouth. There is also a Cleft Lip which is where there is a…

glucose into the blood. Insulin release from the beta cells occurs when blood glucose levels rise. Somatostatin is also released by delta cells and are inhibitors to GH, insulin and glucagon. Gonads: In females the ovaries are located in the pelvic cavity and release two main hormones. Estrogen and progesterone. The male gonads are the testes, which in the male are located in the scrotal sac located near the anus. Testes are responsible to testosterone production that promotes maturation of the…

Another important role the pharynx, taking place in the respiratory system. The pharynx also plays an important role in the respiratory system, as air from the nasal cavity passes through the pharynx on its way to the larynx and eventually the lungs, because the pharynx serves two separate jobs. The esophagus is a really simple tube that is used for transportation starting at the mouth continuing to the stomach. In…

Gaseous exchange Breathing is the body’s way of exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide. The lungs get oxygen through alveoli. The air is transported though the trachea and diverted though the bronchi into a lung, the bronchi extends into smaller tubes called bronchioles witch at the end of them are little air sacks (the alveoli). Oxygen is needed to get into the blood stream to allow oxygen to be supplied throughout the body in order for it to function normally. It does this by gaseous exchange.…

Scientists have compared human and Neanderthal skulls, and have found that the Neanderthal brain size is equal to, or maybe greater, than our own (''What makes you human?'') . While comparing skulls, scientists also found a huge nasal cavity. This, combined with a huge chest, resulted in a high, squeaky, voice(Parmer). Based on remains found, Neanderthals also had a muscular build, with thick limbs (''Homo Neanderthalensis'') . This made for a slow, shuffling, movement as their way…
