it is found in internal and external organs surfaces. It is divides into: a) Squamous Epithelium - Squamous Simple Epithelium: the cells of this tissue are thin and flat and its surface is large. Its function is to filtrate and diffuse molecules such as carbon dioxide and oxygen. Also this tissue can determinate what moves from the lumen into the bloodstream.…
Gillian Bianchi and Sarah Collins February 10, 2016 Dr. Leydon SLP-585-A Larynx Dissection 1. When we began we saw the trachea, the aditus, vestibule, and the aryepiglottic folds. a. The trachea is the tube-like structure that attaches to the cricoid, and brings oxygen into the lungs.…
assess your progress question number 13 chapter 24 The walls and organs of the abdominal cavity are lined with serous membranes. These membranes are very smooth and secrete a serous fluid, which provides a lubricating film between the layers of membranes. The membranes and fluid reduce friction as organs move within the abdomen. The serous membrane that covers the organs is the visceral peritoneum and the one that covers the interior surface of the wall of the abdominal cavity is the parietal peritoneum.…
Discuss your dissection of the sheep heart and the cardiovascular system of the fetal pig by doing the following: a. Describe the similarities and differences between the fetal pig heart and the sheep…
This system is known as the Lymphatic system and the lymphs which are also found in this system. The lymph comes from the interstitial fluid, and its function is to exchange many substances to the surrounding cells which are nearby. The lymph is then able to pick up any proteins or any left over fluid and return it to the blood stream. C) How does the body deal with constant leakage of fluid from the cells?…
Systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly known as Lupus, is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems, including the integumentary, endocrine, circulatory, nervous, cardiac, respiratory, and skeletomuscular systems. Lymphocytes called T-cells are responsible for fighting infections by recognizing antigens, binding to them and then releasing chemicals called cytokines. These cytokines multiply the number of B-cells, some of which are turned into plasma cells.…
7. How is the structure of a lysosome related to its function? Lysosomes are membranous sacs that contain digestive enzymes also known as hydrolytic enzymes. This allows it to breakdown macromolecules, damaged organelles, and pathogens inside the cell. Phagocytosis is the process of engulfing other organisms or particles with digestive enzymes.…
Function: the nasal cavity moisturizes, warms, and filters the incoming air to the body prior to it reaching the lungs. The mucus and hairs coating the nasal cavity assist…
With that being said, the human body devised ways to inhibit this by the lungs secreting a sticky mucous layer throughout the airways that traps the particles and bacteria. The cilia of the lungs then recycle the mucous by moving it out of the airways and into the throat…
Cilia: The human’s nose contains small hairs called cilia, that are only seen with a microscope. These hairs protect our respiratory system in many ways; firstly, nasal hairs keep out most of the dust and larger microorganisms from entering the nasal cavity, then sticky mucus and cilia works together by trapping and removing any dust or pathogens from the air as it flows…
. The 8 major systems within the body are the skeletal system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the digestive system, the lymphatic system, the urinary system, the circulatory system and the reproductive system. Skeletal system - Bones make up the structure of our body, they are what gives it form. They are hard, and dense and interconnect via joints and are held in place by muscles and tendons.…
Diagnosis Inflammation Tonsils In the diagnosis of tonsillitis, first the doctor will examine your throat, as well as ask questions about your symptoms. If tonsillitis is caused by a bacterial infection, usually the symptoms may include swollen lymph nodes in the throat, the appearance of spots of pus around the tonsils, fever but no cough. Meanwhile, if the tonsillitis is caused by infection with a virus, usually the symptoms will be milder than bacterial infections, but with a cough and runny nose. Further testing in the laboratory, such as blood tests, usually required doctors to determine whether patients also suffer from other conditions, such as glandular fever.…
1. Identify and discuss potential factors related to the oral cavity that may impede the process of digestion of food. What dietary changes would facilitate food intake for those with oral cavity problems? A common problem that may impede this process is hyposalivation.…
Teaching session Topic: A structured Approach to recognize and assess of acutely ill patient Learning outcomes: • Identify those patients at risk of developing critical illness. • Apply a structured approach to the assessment and management of the acutely unwell patient. • Prioritise and manage problems as arise during the structured assessment. • Devise a management plane/investigations.…
The moist mucous membrane warms the air as it comes through the air passages, as it reaches the throat the air has almost become body temperature and has become moistened to the saturation point. The ciliated cells have filtered out most of the foreign bodies from the…
