Total Body Surface Area

you need to know the areas that the patient is burned per body surface area. According to Code Health (2018), the adult rule of nines includes: total head 9% (front and back each equal 4.5%), the arms equal 9% each (18% total), the torso is 18% front and 18% back (total 36%), legs equal 18% each (total for both equals 36%), and the groin is a total of 1%. Code Health (2018) stated that you can almost use the patient’s size of their palm to determine the total body surface amount of the victims

1.1. Anatomy and Function of Skin: The Human skin is the largest single organ of the body, with a surface area of one to two square meters and accounts for approximately 16% of total body weight. It protects the body as an outer barrier from external pathogenic factors and excessive water loss. The skin is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis or subcutaneous layer1,2. Epidermis: The epidermis is the outermost layer of mammalian skin and contains four types of cells:

Surface area to Volume Introduction As an IB biology student, I came across an interesting topic related to the relationship between surface area and volumes during an experiment. The idea came to me while my classmates and I were experimenting on agar cubes to investigate the effect of increasing cube sizes on the amount of diffusion into the cubes. Then, I thought, how do ants carry objects that are much heavier and bigger than their bodies? The answer lies in the insect’s small body. First, you

this investigation to find my surface area; one of them was using the body parts as shapes, which was useful as I was able to rely on already made formulas to find the surface area of my skin. The other method was to use tight clothes that fit my body tightly, that way I could measure the height x width of the cloth. I was able to find my body surface area from these methods quite easily. I would say the easiest one to perform was the 1st method, which was using body parts as shapes, I say this because

released as a waste product. For diffusion to be able to occur as quickly as possible, there must be a large surface area to volume ratio and large concentration gradient, a ideally paper thin surface that gases can rapidly diffuse through and a moist surface for gases to diffuse in and and out of during gas

Here in the U.S mining uses 4,020 million gallons per day, out of that 4 million + gallons 86% of it comes from surface and groundwater. To put this in percpective if you were a swimming-pool builder and a customer asked you to build a pool that would hold 3.5 million-gallons you would need to build a pool about 950 feet long (almost as long as 3 football fields), 175 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. That’s a lot of water! Mining water is water used for the extraction of minerals that may be in the form

very few days. With this, the old, dead cells pile up, causing the redness and raise of the skin. This disease generally affects the patient’s popliteal, olecranal, palm, sole, lumbar, face, and inguinal regions. Studies show that the more surface area of the body that is covered by psoriasis, the greater the risk of death for the patient. Patients with 10% or more of

Improving Quality of Dairy Housing in Kenya MICHAEL MUKUMBU NGUGI AB243-2423/2009 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT   CHAPTER TWO 2.1. INTRODUCTION Good dairy housing design requires knowledge of the various dairying concepts and applying this knowledge to building construction to create a facility that provides quality performance in its suitability for the cows’ accommodation and efficiency in the facility operations. This chapter covers existing literature related to the topic of research that will

overcome organ shortage and to expand the donor pool. Moreover, cultural, religious and historical beliefs still represent a major obstacle making deceased donor liver transplantation a prohibited practice in some countries. Accurate estimation of total liver volume, graft volume and remaining liver volume is essential to guarantee adequate metabolic demands for both recipient and donor and to avoid catastrophic drawbacks of both small for size graft and small remaining liver [1-5].

Aquatic animals prefer darker waters during the day and ascend to the surface when light intensity is reduced. Flowering of plants also depends on light. pH This determines the acidity or alkalinity of the water in aquatic habitats or the soil in terrestrial habitats. The pH tends to be neutral at a value of 7 and increases
