ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The vagina is a thin-walled tube 8 to 10 cm long. It lies between the bladder and rectumand extends from the cervix to the body exterior. Often called the birth canal‚ the vagina providesa passageway for the delivery of an infant and for the menstrual flow to leave the body.The cervix (from Latin "neck") is the lower‚ narrow portion of the uterus where it joinswith the top end of the vagina. Where they join together forms an almost 90 degree curve. It iscylindrical or

Excretory System Of Cockroach The excretory organ of cockroach is the malpighian tubules. It is found at the junction of the midgut and hind gut and are about 150 in number. They are fine‚ yellow coloured and branched threads present in bundles. They lie freely in the haemolymph. The distal parts of the tubules extract inorganic ions‚ uric acid and amino acids by active transport and water by diffusion from the surrounding haemolymph. The filtrate moves towards the ileum. In the proximal parts

For my personal diversity project I chose to participate in an “informal” kidney dialysis support group. There are formal support groups with set times and locations‚ they usually serve either the patient or the caregiver of the patient. None of the support groups meet in the treatment room while the patient is having dialysis. The environment of the treatment room and the restriction placed on the patient‚ make the patients vulnerable‚ physically‚ mentally and emotionally. Most often‚ the formal

Many people are having kidney failure every day and they should not be turned down for letting them have one of their kidneys that they do not need to live when someone
