Respiration

known around my house as “Papa”. As I walked into yet another ICU room to see him hooked to a mirage of tubes, wires, and machines, my instinct to help wanted to take over, yet I could only stand and watch helplessly. Hours pass like minutes as his respiration rate continued to decline. Throughout his stay, I helped him with as much as I could to make him comfortable. I had witnessed him fight many battles with death and win, however, this battle seemed different. The morning of August 28th the…

I am currently a senior at Lemoore High School and my goal is to attend first West Hills College, transfer to Oklahoma University’s Health College and obtain my master’s in Nursing. After, I will attend Oklahoma’s anesthesiology school to become a Nurse Anesthetist. While attending LHS, I was involved in numerous activities and clubs throughout the campus. I was greatly involved in FFA and was elected to be the Greenhand treasurer my freshman year. I also raised a lamb my sophomore year and…

burns. Screening the general population is not currently recommended. How accurate is the ECG? It is important to recognise that a 12-lead ECG is never 100 per cent accurate. Inac- curacy can arise from non-modifiable patient factors such as respiration patterns, post prandial state (period after a meal), gender, race and body habitus. It may also arise from modifiable practitioner factors such as incorrect electrode…

The purpose of this experiment was to understand osmosis, however, the deeper importance was that it could be compared to a real cell in our body. The egg in this lab can represent a red blood cell. When cells such as red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters them through osmosis and they swell up. If this continues for a long period of time, they have a great chance of bursting. On the other hand, when cells are placed in a lower concentrated solution, water leaves them through…

The Solar System By Krishiv There is always something that you are pondering about. From the periodic table to the circulatory system. But did you know that the majority of people wonder about the Solar System? It is the final frontier, or the one thing that is not fully discovered. There are many unique masses in the Solar System. They range from planets like the earth to rocks such as asteroids, comets, and meteors. But one thing is for certain… every mass has to orbit the sun.…

Introduction Shirley Temple is a 75-year-old lady who has presented to her local emergency department complaining of an increased need to urinate as well as pain and burning when urinating. Her husband John has accompanied her, and is concerned as he believes Shirley is “just not herself” and slightly confused. It is assumed that Shirley is suffering from a urinary tract infection and possible Sepsis, warranting further investigation and management. This case study will outline what constitutes…

Type I motor units have a higher use of aerobic respiration mechanisms, in which it uses oxidative mechanisms for low power but for a longer duration. In the Type IIb motor units, the motor units with the lowest fatigue resistance, a higher capacity for anaerobic mechanisms than aerobic through glycolytic mechanisms is observed in order to provide a high power for a short duration of time. The difference in the motor units possession of aerobic respiration capacity causes the differences in…

a precious metal because it is rare and valuable. It's non-toxic, antimicrobial qualities make it useful in medicine and pharmaceutical products. Silver ions act as a catalyst by absorbing oxygen, which kills bacteria by interfering with their respiration. Because of this antibiotic property silver had an essential role in medicine for thousands of years. Before the use of antibiotics, silver foil was wrapped around wounds to help healing, and silver-protein complexes were ingested to fight…

It had been a year since I've taken a biology class, my last being in senior year of high school. AP Biology was a must for a biology major, but taking "the basics" in the first year of community college was a norm and only slightly prepared me for taking Cellular and Molecular Biology. It was a small set back having to take this course since getting a 3 on the AP Biology Exam didn't exempt me in the first place, but in the light of things, I've told myself that this class will be a breeze for…

Methods of analysis: Andrea is a 35 year old female who regularly takes part in cardiovascular exercise. She has recorded her beats per minute (BPM) and blood pressure before, during and after performing exercise with a heart rate monitor and a sphygmomanometer. She completed this experiment during a spin class within a controlled environment and on a fixed spin bike. Findings: BPM Before exercise 96 Average heart rate during exercise 142 Maximum heart rate during exercise 174 1 minute after…
