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…
of the ester bond linking BPA monomers, leading to the release of BPA with the concomitant potential for human exposure. It can also be absorbed through the skin by handling paper receipts and money (Trasande). Though BPA accumulates in adipose tissue, it can also be detected in 93% of urine samples, as well as amniotic fluid, neonatal blood, placenta, cord blood, and human breast milk. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the lowest adverse effect level for BPA was established…
Because of their lack of nutrition, these diets can lead to muscle deterioration. During a steady weight loss plan, every pound lost is mostly fat and only a small amount of water and muscle tissue. When a person goes on a low calorie fad diet, her body is not getting enough energy from food calories so instead it breaks down muscle protein to make up for the lack of energy. “Research presented at the 2014 European Congress on Obesity shows…
Almost all multicellular organisms contain a nervous system, which allows them to sense changes in their environment or induce muscle contractions through electrical impulses. The majority of nerves cells that make up the nervous system are excitable cells, as they have the ability to produce an electric current to formrom an action potential from using a concentration gradient of ions across their membrane (Sherwood, 2013). The current generated by the flow of sodium (〖Na〗^+) and potassium (…
When comparing the results of each subject in a group, they show that the control, or the subject that had no fluid intake during the experiment had very less or no fluid output in every 20 minutes unlike the subject that had about 5ml/kg-1 of water intake. The results also show that caffeine and exercise affect the amount of urine produced in different ways: the caffeine seems to increase the total amount of urine that is produced while exercise decreases the total amount of urine produced.…
Endochondral Ossification All osteogenic tissue from the neck down is made by endochondral ossification, with the exception of the clavicles. The model that bone will eventually replace is composed of hyaline cartilage, the most common cartilage, this process tends to be more difficult than intramembranous ossification since all hyaline cartilage most be decomposed as bone tissue is created. Everything begins at the primary ossification center, which is located in the center of diaphysis of the…
Physiological effects that arise from this condition include the degradation of muscle tissue, causing muscles to progressively weaken. This effect can be seen through various symptoms, beginning with frequent falls, trouble walking or getting up, learning disabilities, enlarged calves, gluteus, or shoulder muscles, and muscle weakness that…
the adipose tissue mass increased, and the adipocyte 's number and molar volume are overly increasing, and…
Traditional tenderising methods is poor. This includes mechanical, enzymatic and chemical methods. Better results were obtained by using heat and ultrasound for the sterilization process. Technically, ultrasound can work in two different ways in the meat tissue: by the integrity breaking of the muscle cells and by promoting enzymatic reactions.…
cells to stop the release of fat. Paul Insel, a Stanford University student, states “An increase of body fat that reaches three to five times the normal amount of body fat or greater than thirty billion fat cells with a weight of thirty pounds, fat tissue is unable to be affect by insulin.” (Insel et. al, 2016). The fat cell’s response to the insulin decreases, leading to a high amount of fatty acids in the bloodstream. American Diabetes Association found, the higher levels of fatty acid lead to…
