What is lymphedema? Lymphedema occurs when lymphatic fluid builds up in the soft tissues of your body‚ usually in an arm or leg. The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels and lymph nodes that run through your body. Lymph vessels collect a fluid that is made up of protein‚ water‚ fats‚ and wastes from the cells of the body. Lymph vessels carry this fluid to your lymph nodes. Lymph nodes filter waste materials and foreign products‚ then return the fluid to your blood. If your vessels or nodes

What is research? Thinking like a scientist From the article‚ I found that there are many ways to gain knowledge‚ some are better than others. The most important and reliable method is gaining knowledge via science and involving a merger of rationalism and empiricism at the same time. This way is a logistic way. In this way‚ hypotheses are testable. What’s more‚ we can merge rationalism and empiricism to adjust and reevaluate our position. Scientific research has three basic goals: to

The skeleton is often described as a solid‚ moveable framework that supports the body. Bone is a strong and rigid form of connective tissue. It also works as levers and anchor plates to allow movement to take place. Bones also work for alternative body systems for example the blood cells develop in their fatty inner tissue (red marrow). The body draws from mineral stores in bones during crucial times of shortage‚ for instance when calcium is needed for healthy nerve functioning. The skeletons key

Lymphedema can be classified as primary (congenital malformations) or secondary (acquired obstruction. Swelling in the extremities occurs due to an excessive increased amount of lymph fluid due to an obstruction of lymphatic system. The obstruction may be in both the lymph nodes and the lymphatic vessels. Eventually this will lead to subcutaneous tissue becoming fibrotic; this will impair vascular flow and oxygen transfer to the tissues. Signs: What you can observe (list all and then √ which
