Mucous membranes of the nose‚ paranasal sinuses‚ pharynx and middle ear are connected by ducts in the throat. B) What is a cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing? A cough reflex has both sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) components. Pulmonary irritant receptors

Cari’s Story A. How could an infection in Cari’s nasal passages and pharynx spread into her sinuses? The infection in Cari’s nasal passages and pharynx was able to spread into her sinuses due to the sinuses being a drainage area for the nasal passages. B. What is the cough reflex? The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes or abundant it triggers

Evaluation of Patient Baseline Biometric Data: Baseline data was collected at the beginning of the program‚ program completion and 3 months post program completion (Appendix A). This data included biometric data: weight‚ BMI‚ blood pressure‚ LDL and hemoglobin A1C. Blood glucose meters were downloaded and reviewed individually with patients to assist with pattern recognition and changes made to medication regimen if needed. Evaluation of Patient Generated Data: Patients were asked to rate their perceptions

A Macromolecule is a molecule with a very large number of atoms .The word macromolecule is usually used for describing polymers. Molecules that are made up of smaller molecules are called monomers‚ there are also Organic Molecules composed of carbon atoms .The functions of the Four big Macromolecules: First‚ Carbohydrates‚ carbohydrates is the function of being used for energy production during cellular respiration. Second ‚ Lipids‚ lipids are used for four things; insulation and long-term energy

were roughly 5 reticle units in diameter. Also‚ there was a large quantity of red blood cells compared to the white blood cells. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen throughout the body. Since the body constantly needs oxygen‚ there is a large amount of red blood cells. Red blood cells are also small and flat which allow hemoglobin to take in oxygen better (http://www.healthhype). White blood cells are very different as they are larger in size (roughly 8 reticle units in diameter)

Conditions That Can Affect Blood Results Using Luminol The purpose of this science experiment was to discover under what conditions can blood give a false result using the presumptive test called luminol. In order to better grasp the experiment‚ research was conducted on several subtopics: the basic concept of luminol‚ the basic concept of artificial blood which is being used for this experiment instead of legitimate blood‚ and substances interferences that could tamper with crime scene results
