The human body cells need oxygen in order to function and the respiratory system allows this to happen. Consisting of air passages‚ pulmonary vessels‚ the lungs and breathing muscles‚ it supplies fresh oxygen to the blood which can be fed to other parts of the body. The ribs‚ rib muscles and diaphragm all play a part in allowing air into and out of the lungs‚ (oxygen going into the body and carbon dioxide leaving the body). This is known as ventilation. When we breathe in we inhale and when we

1.) When you forcefully exhale your entire expiratory reserve volume‚ any air remaining in your lungs is called the residual volume (RV). Why is it impossible to further exhale the RV (that is‚ where is this air volume trapped‚ and why is it trapped?) This "dead space" of air needs to stay in your lungs constantly; otherwise the lung will completely deflate. If the lung has every bit of air sucked out of it‚ it will collapse and need to be re-inflated. 2.) How do you measure a person’s

Science in Nursing‚ also called BSN‚ is a four-year degree obtained at a university. It includes the same areas of study and has the same license upon completion of the NCLEX as the ADN nurse‚ but delves further into nursing theory as well as pathophysiology and technical skills. Many employers require the bachelor’s degree for higher positions in nursing such as clinical managers and nurse specialists. Differences in competencies between nurses prepared at the associate-degree level versus

The Relationship Between the Rate of Diffusion and Molecular Weight as Observed in Postassium manganate‚ Potassium dichromate‚ and Methylene Blue Elisha Padilla Group 3 Sec. X – 8L March 26‚ 20151 ABSTRACT The relationship between the rate of diffusion and the molecular weight of a substance was determined by introducing three substances (KMnO₄‚ K₂Cr₂O₇‚ C₁₆H₁₈N₃SCl) of different molecular weight to agar-water gel‚ and measuring the distance of diffusion every
