combination of these factors. There are many factors attributing to the risk of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are acquired as a result of prolonged periods of immobility during unrelieved pressure which compresses tissues that overlie in bony prominences. The principal factor in pressure ulcer development is excessive tissue pressure that prevents the normal supply of blood to the affected area. The severity of skin and tissue damage will depend on how long the patient had been exposed. Prevention is the best intervention for pressure ulcers. There are several risk factors that have been identified to make a patient more vulnerable to acquiring a pressure ulcer. Pressure friction and shear are thought to contribute to the development of pressure ulcers. Certain groups of patients have a higher risk…

Discussion The basic types of tissue represented in the chicken lab dissection were connective, muscular, and epithelial tissue. Each of these three tissue are related and serve the body to allow it to function. Both the epithelial and connective tissues provide protection. Epithelial tissues protect exposed and internal surfaces, while connective tissue protects internal organs. Connective and muscular tissue both transport fluids and essential substances throughout the body.…

for the Treatment of Soft Tissue Injuries Introduction: Electrotherapy is used by practitioners to assist in pain reduction and to accelerate the healing process via an increase in energy: electrical, sound, light, magnetic, temperature (Physioworks, 2015). The treatment modalities that come under the umbrella of electrotherapy are as follows: Ultrasound, Laser, Transcutaneous Electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and Magnetic field therapy (Physioworks, 2015). Therapeutic ultrasound has…

body to heal and repair, this usually presents its self in one of three ways. Regeneration, as the name suggests this is usually in mild cases or injury where very little tissue damage has occurred and the body may naturally be able to regenerate the initial structure. Resolution, this usually occurs following mild inflammation where the body removes dead cells and debris from the affected area, leaving the original non damaged structure intact. And finally repair, this is where the original…

Task two Tissues The tissues are structures formed by a group of billion of cells with a similar structure. A group of cells together form tissues, tissues from organs and organs are form system organs. There are four different types of basic animal tissue: 1) Epithelial Tissue: This tissue is formed of one or a few layers of cells adhere to a basement membrane. it is found in internal and external organs surfaces. It is divides into: a) Squamous Epithelium - Squamous Simple Epithelium: the…
