The mitral valve sounds are heard over the apex of the heart (5th intercostal space) in line with the middle of the clavicle. Pulmonary valve sounds are auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space at the left sternal margin. The aortic valve is heard at the 2nd intercostal space of the right sternal margin. b.

Final Biology Exam Review Unit One: Cellular Processes Definitions: Apoptosis – Known as cell suicide‚ lysosomes break open and decompose the entire cell. Triglyceride – A lipid molecule composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. Simple diffusion – Movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It goes through the phospholipid bilayer. Facilitated diffusion – Diffusion of particles through the cell membrane‚ assisted by transmembrane proteins

the blood stream‚ the blood then takes the oxygen and transfers it around the body to the areas that need it. The lungs are in the chest and are protected by the rib cage. In between the ribs are the intercostal muscles which are essential for breathing but the most important muscle for breathing is the diaphragm. The diaphragm is beneath the lungs and separates the lungs from the abdomen. The inside of our lungs are filled with masses of fine tubes and even smaller tubes which end in tiny air

At four months old Mary initially experienced occasional non-productive cough‚ no colds‚ fever or difficulty of breathing. One week prior to hospitalization‚ she went to a local health center and was prescribed‚ an antitussive oral suspension of 0.5ml Ambroxol‚ three times a day. Four days prior to hospitalization‚ Mary continued to present with non-productive cough

MANAGEMENT OF BREATHLESSNESS IN LUNG CANCER Breathlessness is one of the most common symptoms of advanced cancer‚ particularly lung cancer. Reported incidence varies between 30% - 70%(J. Carner).30% of all the patient experience it during some part of their illness and it goes as high 79% with lung cancer. (Mora Kearney). Despite being prevalent it is most of the time not recognised by the health professional‚ when it is really serious. May be due to the fact that patient sometimes do not come

regulated by; The inspiratory center‚ which increases the stimulation of the diaphragm ad external intercostal muscles. It also stimulates the other muscles used during inspiration‚ such as the pectorals minor and sternocleidomastoid. This increases the force of contraction and therefore increases the depth of inspiration. The expiratory center stimulates the expiratory muscles‚ which are the internal intercostal muscles‚ obliques and rectus abdomens. This causes a forced expiration‚ which reduces the duration
