the ascending colon. The structures located within the left lower quadrant are: sigmoid colon and section of the descending colon, A large membrane called the peritoneum surrounds all the organs and viscera within the abdt)minal cavity. Kidneys and ureters are situated posterior to (behind) the intraperitoneal organs and their position is described as retroperitoneal. Pain affecting these structures may not always involve the abdomen, and may manifest in the loin area (at the back of the torso…

Effect of studying systems of Fetal pig Purpose The purpose of this pig dissection lab is to organize the body sturcture by observing external anatomy, oral cavity, neck, superficial muscles, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and both male and female reproductive systems. By studying the systems of the pig, it helps understand the systems of the humans because humans and pigs are both mammals which we can assume that systems of pig and human are similar. Results The sex of pig was able to…

Kidney stones develop when crystal precipitate from the urine and collected within the kidney papillae, ureter and renal pelvis. The most common kind of kidney stone contains calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. Diagnosis is made based on clinical history, supported by investigations and diagnostic imaging. Signs and symptoms include, pain, mostly severe…

spreads beyond the cervix but not to the pelvic sidewall, or involves the vagina but not the lower third, this is considered Stage II. Stage III carcinoma spreads to the pelvic sidewall, involves the lower third of the vagina or obstructs one or both ureters. Lastly, Stage IV, the cancer has spread to distant organs beyond the true pelvis or involves the lining of the bladder or rectum (Stern,…

History of Organ Transplants The first organ transplants took place in 200 BC. A Chinese physician, Hua-Tuo, is said to have replaced diseased organs with healthy ones. He is also the first physician to use anaesthesia. Both of these are significant. Organs could be replaced and anaesthetics were available. Not much is recorded about organ transplants until the late 17th and early 18th centuries, when experiments with animal to human blood transfusions, skin grafts, and animal to human…

Each nephron consists of small blood capillaries called glomerulus, and the renal tubule. Urea, and water forms urine as it passes through the nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney. The two ureters are narrow tubes that carries urine from the kidneys to the bladder, the bladder is an organ located in the lower abdomen, its walls will relax and expand in order to hold the urine and as it contracts the urine will empty. The urethra allows urine…

In this type of surgery, the risks that can occur include: excessive bleeding during the surgery that requires a blood transfusion, infection of the surgical site or of the bladder, possible damage to any surrounding organs (bladder, bowel, and ureters), and may cause the surgeon to need to do further surgery (Emory University School of Medicine, 2017). During the virtual simulation, a major complication occurred when the patient was given too much morphine, resulting in an overdose. This can…

Canis lupus familiaris (dogs) were likely the first animals to be domesticated by humans. Humans and dogs share a long intertwined history. DNA evidence suggests domestic dogs most likely diverged from wolves as long as 135,000 years ago (Udell and Wynne). The American Kennel Club (AKC), a registry of purebred dog pedigrees in the United States, recognizes 167 breeds. Being that dogs are one of the most common household pets owned by humans, it is important to understand their physiology for…

79-110 million people are currently infected and the worldwide risk of HPV infection at least once in their lifetime in both men and women is 50% (Handler et al., 2015). The risk of being infected with HPV is 24% after someone becomes sexually active if they are also under 25 years old (Foreman et al., 2012). Worldwide, cervical cancer is the 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in women with a higher mortality rate in developing nations (Handler…

Vertebrate Histology (BIOLOGY 364) Fall 2015 Lecture Final (Take-home) A. Pick 3 of the following and argue that the following are either “adaptive” or necessary for survival, homeostasis, and/or reproduction: 1. Adluminal compartment of seminiferous tubules • The adluminal compartment is made up of spermatocytes, spermatozoa and spermatids. The compartment is considered a tight-junction. This tight-junction is said to be a blood-testicle-barrier. This means the…
