There are two types of skin: thick skin and thin skin. Thick skin is a type of skin that covers body parts prone to trauma and abrasions i.e. palms‚ fingers‚ sole. Thin skin‚ on the other hand‚ covers the rest of our body. The two types of skin share a lot of characteristics‚ but they also have differences which warrant a different classification. They are similar in that both are composed of 3 major layers: the epidermis‚ the dermis‚ and the hypodermis. The epidermis is where the epithelial cells

Also‚ further nursing interventions should consist of; using a sterile procedure for catheter insertion‚ using a catheter with the smallest size lumen and balloon possible and engaging in routine perineal care. Moreover‚ prevention strategies can be implemented and could include; education‚ outcome surveillance‚ process surveillance‚ feedback of CAUTI rates and performance indices of infection control

Urine production If body fluids are hypo osmolar‚ then kidney will produces hypo osmolar urine. (Dilute urine) If body fluids are hyper osmolar (dehydration) then kidney produces hyperosmolar urine. (concentrated urine) In the renal cortex the osmolarity of interstitial fluid is 300mOs/L going to 1200mOs/L in the papilla. From the cortex to the papilla there is an increasing hyper osmolarity of the interstitial fluid. Cortico papillary osmolarity gradient. Urine with osmolarity more than 300mOs/l

Investigating arteries and veins Methodology 1. Suspend a ring of artery from a hook on a clamp stand. 2. Use a metre rule to record the length of the ring once the mass carrier has been attached to the free end of the ring. 3. Attach a 10 g mass and record the length of the ring after the mass is added. 4. Remove the mass and record the length of the ring. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 using 20‚ 30‚ 40 and 50 g masses. Record the length with and without the masses each time. When comparing

Top of Form . The Male Reproductive System > The Male Reproductive System: Introduction The male reproductive system is composed of the testes‚ genital ducts‚ accessory glands‚ and penis (Figure 21–1). The dual function of the testis is to produce spermatozoa and hormones. The genital ducts and accessory glands produce secretions that‚ aided by smooth muscle contractions‚ conduct spermatozoa toward the exterior. These secretions also provide nutrients for spermatozoa while

How things flow through the heart: • blood drains into the right atrium through the superior vena cava‚ inferior vena cava‚ and the coronary sinus (drains the heart muscle itself)→Right Ventricle→pulmonary semilunar valves→lungs→pulmonary veins→left atrium→bicuspid valve→left ventricle→aortic semilunar valve→systemic circuit. What the valves do: • Prevent backflow into the atria and ventricles‚ ensuring that blood only flows one way through the heart. what vessels bring blood to the heart and

Fluorine was first isolated in 1886 by Henri Moissan; the mixture of potassium bifluoride and dry hydrogen fluoride enabled electrolysis to occur and thus isolate the element. Through this achievement‚ scientists were able to induct and reach consensus gentium on the phases of fluorine. Fluorine at room temperature is pale yellow; it emits a distinct pungent odor at 20 ppb and condenses into a bright yellow liquid at −188 °C. The fact that natural sciences controls and isolates variables that the hypothesis
