First, I would tell Lisa and Dillon to watch for symptoms of blue color to the skin and shortness of breath. If she shows blue tinged skin and shortness of breath then you should put the baby’s knees up to her chest and lay the baby on her side. This helps increase blood flow to her lungs. Then you can call for paramedics. This is an emergency.
Secondly, I would explain how the Tetralogy of Fallot affects oxygen and blood flow in Mandy’s body. Tetralogy of Fallot is a defect that decreases pulmonary blood flow by four abnormities. These include: pulmonary valve stenosis which involves the narrowing of the pulmonary valve. This reduces blood flow to the lungs. Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall that separates the two lower chambers,
2. The defect in Caleb’s heart allows blood to mix between the two ventricular chambers. Due to this defect would you expect the blood to move from left-to-right ventricle or right-to-left ventricle during systole? Explain your answer based on blood pressure and resistance in the heart and great vessels. It goes left to right during systole. The difference is normally, oxygen-poor (blue) blood returns to the right atrium from the body, travels to the right ventricle, and then is pumped into the lungs where it receives oxygen. Oxygen-rich (red) blood returns to the left atrium from the lungs, passes into the left ventricle, and then is pumped out to the body through the aorta. But when an infant has ventricular septal defect it still allows oxygen-rich (red) blood to pass from the left ventricle, through the opening in the septum, and then mix with oxygen-poor (blue) blood in the right ventricle. (ROCHESTER.EDU) but instead when systole occurs the blood gets mixed because of the septum therefore heart needs to pump harder to ensure that enough blood with oxygen reaches the body.
There is no problem in her breathing at this time, but eventually there may be shortness in breath which
The child in the most immediate concern is Lydia Pederson. She is now 9 months old and was taken to the hospital via ambulance due to Lydia being limp and unresponsive in the cot. The child was report to be grizzle and unsettled for a few days and the foster carer report that she has had trouble keeping fluid and solids for a few days, and she has had not wet nappies today.
In conclusion, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are directly related in a complex manner, relying on one another to perform their physiological functions. Only together can both systems work to maintain the body’s internal balance, this is evident when physical demand is higher than normal. In order to meet this demand, the heart must pump more nutrient-rich blood around the body; however it needs oxygen to do this, in response the
Mercury is the smallest planet and is closest to the sun. It's a small, rocky planet that resembles the moon superficially. While the pockmarked surface and rugged terrain suggests a turbulent history, Mercury is no longer geologically active and has not been active for a long time. Mercury has a heavy iron-based core that is proportionally larger than that of any other planet, including Earth. Mercury has a much longer "day" than Earth. For every two Mercury-years, there are only three days. If earth rotated as slowly, each day would last about eight months. This really puts into perspective how slowly the small planet rotates. Despite its slow rotation, its magnetic field has become stronger and more dynamic since its first discovery. There has been a significant change in the geological instant of 35 years.
It is believed that only 55% of Mercury has been mapped, however, that 55% has yielded a number of interesting finds, there are three significant geological features on Mercury, these are: smooth plains, intercrater plains and rugged highlands. The smooth plains resemble Lunar Maria, that is, large dark basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruption, found on the Earth’s moon. The Intercrater Plains are impact craters, pocked with a number of smaller craters, which cover 70% of the examined surface. These craters are particularly deep, due to the planets lack of an atmosphere to slow the bodies before impact. The rugged highlands resemble mountainous regions of the Earth; however, there is no evidence of tectonic motions to have caused them. Mercury is made up of predominately iron, its crust is only 500-600km thick and there is evidence of volcanic activity, although it is believed that the planet has been geologically dormant for billions of years.
Mercury is like a large rock. Its surface geology is quite similar to Earth's moon. It has many craters from ancient impacts, and also basins and plains. Some of the craters have filled with lava from the planet's interior, and have become lava plains as a result. Boulders and dust from pulverized rock are found on the surface. There are no rivers. The Mariner 10 and Messenger missions sent back many pictures of Mercury's surface, so we know that there is no weather there to affect the surface. From a geological standpoint, Mercury is identified as a planet that has been long dead. Even though it has not been completely mapped by cameras, scientists studying Mercury believe that its surface has not changed for billions of years.
Mercury is a heavy, silver-white, highly toxic metallic element. It is the only metallic element that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury can be used in thermometers, pesticides, pharmaceutical preparations, surfaces of mirrors, and dental fillings. There are several forms of mercury which include elemental or metallic mercury, inorganic mercury compounds, and organic mercury compounds. Elemental/metallic mercury is liquid at room temperature and turns into a colorless, odorless gas when heated. (Mercury: Basic Information, 2014)
Mercury: the planet mercury is a greyish brown planet that resembles to the moon so much that they are nearly identical. The planet Mercury is, just like the moon, filled with many, many, craters. The planet mercury is the planet closest to the sun or of the eight planets. The planet mercury is also filled with many, many rocks. In our lesson we learned that mercury travels around the orbit in not 88 earth days, but 59 earth days. In 1974, a muggle prove was sent up there to the planet mercury to study it. The planet mercury is, one of the 7 planets that don't have a single life form on it, well that's in any records. The planet mercury is 1,516 miles in size. Next i will move on to venus.
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital heart defect that presenting at birth. It represents about 10% of cases of congenital heart defect, it occurs in 3 to 6 infants per 10,000 births.
Mercury’s evolutionary history is much like that of the Moon. For one, both the Moon and Mercury for the past 4 billion years have been geologically dead worlds. Their thick, solid mantles that prevent volcanism or tectonic motion are the reason for the lack of ongoing geological activity. Additionally, Mercury suffered an intense meteoritic bombardment much like the Moon. However, Mercury has cooled slower, which made volcanic activity common and its crust thinner. Mercury formed about 4.6 billion years ago, and since it is located within the hot inner regions of the solar system, the planet was already depleted of any lighter, rocky material. Mercury had melted and differentiated within the next half-billion years. The crust was compressed
Mercury's surface is very similar to that of our very own moon. Just like our moon, It has a dark grey, rocky surface. It is known to be quite porous and covered in many craters. It is strewn with quite a few boulders and lots of dust. Interestingly enough, the lunar-like surface layer only runs about 500-600 kilometers deep into the small planet, where it meets Mercury's iron-rich core. As far as sustaining life, Mercury is geologically dead, and according to research done over the course of years, it has been for quite some time. This is apparent from its barren landscape, and lack of weather patterns. Data shows no record of dust storms, clouds or any form of weather, reassuring us of its similarity to our Earth's moon.
The first planet in our solar system, Mercury, is a very rough, jagged planet, complete with many craters and has many large rocks and dust. This dust is very fine, and small, like grains of sand. It has no atmosphere, so intense temperature fluctuations occur from day to night. The temperature ranges goes from 90K to 700K. However, due to much studying, we can concur that this planet is geologically dead, and hasn’t been ‘alive’ for an extended period of time. Also on this planet are no signs of rivers, clouds, storms, or really any type of weather. It can be seen to resemble the moon based off of certain aspects. In 1974, the Mariner 10 got within 10,000 km of Mercury, so we could have better, high-resolution pictures of that planet.
From my view on the Astronomy Tower, I can see the planet Mercury using the brass telescope. The time that I was viewing the Mercury was UTC 9:00 pm. It was a full moon. The weather was clear with little clouds in sight. The top of the tower is relatively cold as it is near Autumn.
Mercury's surface is heavily cratered. There are two distinct types of craters that can be observed on Mercury's surface; the more common impact crater - formed during asteroid impact, and pit craters - formed from the collapse of subterranean magma chambers. The former, impact craters, are typically more circular in shape and are accompanied by high ridges around the perimeter of the impact where debris from the impact was ejected. The latter, pit craters, are more irregular in shape and do not have the perimeter ridges. On the smoother plains of the surface compression folds can be seen, these are thought to be caused by the cooling of Mercury's core causing the surface to contract. The surface of Mercury consists of dark porous rock and because
