Thoracic cavity

Structure of the respiratory system The breathing cycle starts at by coming in by the nasal cavity is a space in the nose and also known as inspiration, it has hairs and mucus membrane. The function is to filter warm and moisten the air entering the body before it reaches the lungs. The mouth leads to the Pharynx. The Pharynx is also known as…

intervention might the doctors and nurses initiate in order to address the hemothorax? Explain how this intervention will lead to changes in PCO2 and blood pH. Best thing would be to stop the source of bleeding and then draining the blood in the thoracic cavity which will allow the lung to expand properly decreasing carbon dioxide and increasing oxygen in the blood to get pH levels back to…

eventually converge to empty back into the bloodstream via the right lymphatic duct, emptying into the right subclavian vein and the thoracic duct, emptying into the left subclavian vein. Lymphatic vessels on the right side of the head, neck, chest and the right upper limb converge into the right lymphatic duct while the rest of the body’s lymphatic vessels converge into the thoracic duct. The lymphatic organs, which consist of the tonsils, the spleen, the thymus and the lymph nodes, are made…

intestine has digestive enzymes secreted from the pancreas and the enzymes attached to microvilli complete digestion of the food. Large intestine, some food byproducts left over are digested by bacteria. The location of the epiglottis is between the oral cavity and pharynx, its function is moving food down from the mouth. Peristalsis is the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine, making movements that push the contents forward. A Sphincter is a band of smooth…

edu/courses/bio105/circulat.htm 2. Discuss your dissection of the respiratory system of the fetal pig by doing the following: a. The trachea is rigid than where the esophagus is soft, but they are both hollow tubes which start in the throat and move down into the thoracic region. They are positioned next to each other with the trachea sitting in front of the esophagus. The trachea ends at the lungs and the esophagus ends at the stomach. b. Describe how the structures of the respiratory…

which promotes rapid wound healing. Side Effect Definition/Describe A. Pneumothorax: Pneumothorax is defined as a collapsed lung due to the presence of gas or air within the thoracic cavity. B. Air Embolism: An air embolism is also known as a “gas bubble,” and can be defined as block in the vascular system due to an air/gas bubble. C. Oxygen Toxicity: Oxygen toxicity is also known as “oxygen poisoning” or…

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of feline cardiomyopathies. This disease affects the cardiovascular system. The heart has many important anatomical features. One of these being the ventricle of the heart. The ventricle of the heart is the main heart muscle that pumps blood. When HCM occurs the left ventricle within the heart thickens. When the thickening of the ventricle occurs there will be a decreased ventricular chamber volume, and abnormal ventricular relaxation.…

including mesothelioma (Roberts, Patsios, Paul, Deperrot, Teel, Bayanati, & Johnston, 2013). Mesothelioma is diagnosed when a person has malignancies within their mesothelial membranes. A membrane of cells known as the mesothelium surrounds the cavities within the body encompassing the chest, abdomen, and heart. Theses cells allow for organs to function properly and sustain life. Mesothelium allows for constant movement of organs such as the lungs and heart. Mesothelial cells act as a…

-The axial skeleton consists of a the skull, hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, vertebral column (spine), sternum bone, and the ribs. -The appendicular skeleton consists of the shoulder girdles, upper limbs, pelvic girdles, and lower limbs. -Bones are living tissue that make up the skeleton. They are primarily composed of three types of tissue. These three types are compact tissue, cancellous tissue, and subchondral tissue. -Compact tissue is the outer layer of bones and is harder than the other…

Examination of Ventricular Septal Defects and Arterial Aneurysms According to Maternal Child Nursing Care, 5th Edition, Chapter 47 – Cardiovascular Dysfunction, congenital heart defects occur in about 5 to 8 of every 1000 live births, and 2 to 3 of those affected will be symptomatic within the first year of life (Hockenberry, 2014). When looking at the different pathophysiologies of congenital heart defects, the most common form of defect is the ventricular septal defect or VSD and there are…
