Tunica

The patient was admitted into a small, rural hospital at 1900 for an ongoing complaint of unrelieved indigestion. The patient, 48 year old male has a history of and is presently involved with smoking. After admission into the hospital it is ruled out that the patient underwent a rule out myocardial infarction with further testing involving a cardiac catheterization to be done after admission upon a separate medical center. The patient also presents to the hospital with a history of a high-fat…

forever. Clearly you were right. You’re now starting on the last week of your first class, and you’ve done great so far! Even when it seemed a little overwhelming, you got your head in the game, and got it done! Like when you, Jay, and Braelynn went to Tunica for your anniversary, and once you got there you realized the hotel didn’t have wi-fi and your assignment was due that night, or when you had to re-read one of the unit’s READ sections ten times before you retained anything. I won’t be…

reproductive system. The male reproductive system consists of testes, ducts, accessory sex glands, the penis, and scrotum (McLafferty, 2012 p1). The testes consist of glandular tissue and each testis is contained in a white fibrous capsule called the tunica albuginea (McLafferty 2012 p1). The testes are held in the scrotum which is a loose sac of skin and smooth muscle. Approximately two months before birth, the testes descend from the abdominal cavity into the scrotal sac (McLafferty 2012,p1).…

administered anesthesia. For an inflatable or dynamic prosthesis, the surgeon starts off with a penoscrotal incision. The corpora cavernosa would then be dilated and placed with the prosthesis cylinders. The surgeon makes a second incision in the tunica albuginea all the way toward the low suprapubic region. The reservoir is then placed in the prevesical space, and the pump placed in the scrotum through the subcutaneous channels created through the initial incision. And finally, the surgeon…

digestion process begins when we bite into our food. We chew our food so that we can break it into smaller pieces, which make it simpler for the body to digest. The following four layers create the esophagus: the mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and tunica adventitia. Collectively, the mucosa and submucosa build elongated folds. During digestion, the esophageal lumen is occupied with the food and liquids we swallow. However, when we are not swallowing, the elongated folds work to close the…

1. Describe the function of the scrotum in protecting the testes from temperature fluctuations. Scrotum is an external sex organ. The scrotum is a pouch like structure made up of skin. It has 2 main functions. It protects the testis and maintains 2-3oc temperature lower than body temperature, which is very important for spermatogenesis. The scrotum also contains numerous blood vessels and nerves. The cremaster muscle present in the scrotum contracts and pulls scrotum closer to the body whenever…

pleura, the outer lining of the lungs and the internal chest wall. There are also recorded cases of the cancer in the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), the sac surrounding the heart (pericardium), and even the sac surrounding the testis (tunica vaginalis). Aside from several forms of cancer, exposure to asbestos can also cause asbestos warts, diffuse pleural thickening, and pleural plaques. Asbestos warts appear when sharp asbestos fibers are lodged in the skin, which will then cause…

Ms. Barth presents in a hyper-adrenergic state that causes acute pulmonary hypertension. Consequently, this causes pulmonary edema due to an increased hyperstatic pressure. Globally, she has systemic hypertension a result of vascular spasms and increased heart rate. Symptomatically she feels hot, sweaty, and anxious due to vasoconstriction (increasing heat retention) stimulation of sweat glands, and increased norepinephrine. The cardiovascular system is dynamic and always changing to regulate…

It was a snowy November morning; I was driving to my Human Relations class at St. Cloud State University. On this day I saw my life flash before me because as I was driving to class my car brakes locked up and then I hit a patch of black ice right before turning next to the St. Cloud Prison on highway 10. My car slid about 50 feet and all I could do was just hold my steering wheel and pray for the car to stop. During this moment my sympathetic nervous system (SNS) was reacting to this tragic…

1. Point A is considered the S1 area of the graph. At this point in the graph is where the sound “lubb” is heard. At this point is when the AV closes and the semilunar valve closes. 2. Point D is at the S2 area. This is where the “dub” sound is made. This is the beginning of ventricular filling where the AV valves open. 3. At the end of the atrial systole, the ventricles have a maximum amount of blood that each can carry. The quantity of this is known as the end- diastolic volume. 4. In S2 is…
