Thorax

Moreover, the restraint can be fatal as evidenced by “Studies hypothesized mentioned that most of the deaths happened because of asphyxia or cardiac arrest due to pressure on the neck, thorax, and abdomen” (Coroner’s Court, 2011). This leads to increase the incidence of harm and death from (zero to 200 in period 2011-2012). (Mental Health Act Code of Practice, 2012). Based on the ethical principles non-maleficence (avoid harm or hurting)…

1. The three major layers that make up healthy skin are the epidermis, dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis). The epidermis is a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium that resists abrasion and reduces water loss. It consists of four distinct cell types and five layers. The dermis, the second major skin region containing strong, flexible connective tissue. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. Also, the dermis contains the blood vessels, nerve fibers and lymphatic…

1. The skull bones protect the brain from injury, the vertebra surrounds the spinal cord and the rib cage helps protect important organs of the thorax. Some examples are: the bones in our skull protect the brain and the ribs protect the heart and lungs. The bones make a structure that supports our body and holds and protects soft organs. Some examples are: the bones of the lower limbs provide support to the body trunk when we stand, and the rib cage supports the thoracic wall. 2. The skeletal…

the skin's thickness and moisture. Wet skin can reduce the contact resistance of the body. The degree of electricity-induced injury is also determined by which tissues are in the current pathway. Electrical current that passes through the head or thorax produces the most serious injuries. As electric current is conducted through a material, any opposition to that flow of electrons (resistance) results in a dissipation of energy, usually in the form of heat. This is the most basic and easy to…

The Superior Vena Cava (SVC) is the main blood vessel that transports de-oxygenated blood from the upper body to the heart. The SVC is a short vein located in the anterior right Superior Mediastinum, which is the area found in the mid-line of the Thorax (Drake et al. 2010). The vein is surrounded by many structures involved in the respiratory and circulatory system including the right Bronchus and the Mediastinal lymph nodes (Martini & Ivonne 2004). Figure 1 is a coronal CT image of a human…

Adults are 3 to 4 mm long, may have red eyes or dark eyes, and a tan thorax. Fruit flies can appear to be brown or tan in color. The abdomen is black on top, gray underneath. Populations tend to build during the summer, becoming very abundant at harvest time. As for indoors, fruit flies are frequently active at all times…

Asthma is the most important respiratory disease in Canada. Each year, the number of asthma sufferers increases. Today, nearly 2.5 million Canadians suffer from asthma. In Quebec, it is estimated that over 600 000 people affected, more than 350,000 children and adolescents. Each year, the country, the direct and indirect costs of asthma over a billion dollars. Thus, the disease causes approximately 70,000 emergency room visits, hospitalizations and 4000, unfortunately, between 150 and 300…

When she sees the moths in the bathroom, the author writes, “…a dorsal curve of thorax and abdomen, and a smooth pair of cerci by which I knew his name” (4). By showing her knowledge in the earwig’ anatomy, Dillard enforces her credibility for when she describes the burning of the moth later on. The fact that the author also mentions…

done for 5minutes. Followed by the other group with taping. Patients were made to sit and their arm was abducted to 80degrees.The anchor stripes with 6cm of tape with a v shape was applied on the upper arm and semicircular anchor arounf the patients thorax.2 support stripes were applied for reinforcement. Conventional Exercises included Shoulder elevation, depression Protraction and retraction exercises After the exercises, Moist heat was applied to the area. Design and Statistical…

powerful. For instance, many short muscles surround the spinal chord. The long muscles are located in the arms and legs, where they cause wide and fast movements of these limbs. Wide muscles are flat and thin. They are located on the walls of the thorax and the abdomen. There, they provide a wide and powerful lining to both the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. With these significant muscles types, there are a great number of movement…
