Introduction For the cat lab, there is no hypothesis as this is a observational activity. The purpose of this lab is to compare the anatomy and physiology of a Domestic House Cat, to that of a human. The references are “New” Lab manual, and Disecction of the Cat. The scale of refrence is one bar = 3mm. Anatomy, Observations and Comparisons: External Anatomy. Firstly, when we got to our table, we removed our cat, which was a black and white spotted cat, and its number was 4. From head to tail,

Fluids and Electrolytes, Acid Base Balance “Fluid and electrolytes balance is defined as the process of regulating the extracellular fluid volume, body fluid osmolality, and plasma concentrations of electrolytes “(Giddens, 2013 ). Having an excess or deficit of fluids or electrolyte can be deadly to the human body. Mr. D.H. arrived at the hospital with an electrolyte imbalance. He had a sodium balance of 126 which normally it is 145 and a potassium balance of 5.3 which has a normal range of 3.5

PBL 5: A Bad Interaction Introduction The aim of this PBL is to highlight the usefulness of warfarin as a drug, but also the level of attention the patient, and prescriber, needs to safely use the medication due to its sensitive nature with polypharmacy stemming from its narrow therapeutic window. It is necessary to not only the consider the patient’s part in taking antibiotics and alcohol whilst on warfarin, but also question why the general practitioner did not raise this issue when prescribing

The build up of air, fluid, or food in the stomach may lead to a rotation of it around itself, causing a constriction. Reducing the blood flow to other regions of the body may result in cell death, and depending on how long the clinical signs persist for, certain tissues may become necrotic. Rapid diagnosis and treatment is essential for a good prognostic for the animal. Mortality rates

systole and diastole. Systole is the contraction phase of the cycle, pumping the blood, and diastole is the relaxation phase of the cycle, blood filling the chambers (Reece 921). While the blood pumps out of the heart, the arteriole blood pressure is raised; however, during the relaxation phase, the aortic valve closes thus dropping the arteriole blood pressure (Harris-Haller 243). Because of this inconsistency in blood pressure during the cardiac cycle, the mean arterial pressure compensates for these

In the 19th century, an increasing number of Asians were experiencing loss of appetite, weakness, and edema, among other symptoms, making it difficult to perform daily activities. This disorder, known as beriberi, appeared after the exclusive use of polished rice as a staple in these countries (Wooley, 2009). In 1926, thiamin deficiency was discovered to be the cause of this disease (Dinicolantonio, Niazi, Lavie, O'keefe, & Ventura, 2013). While beriberi is mostly found in developing countries

output than input as evidence of pulmonary crackles, distended bilateral jugular vein and decrease breath sound • Examine the skin turgor and mucous membrane for signs of dehydration • Monitoring of the vital signs should be closely monitored (pulse, blood pressure, respiration and pulse oximetry •

The human body is a fascinating organism with a multiplicity of complex systems working together to ensure the health of the individual. Join us as we take a Fantastic Voyage through our healthy, 55-year old male subject to witness how nutrients are ingested and passed through the body. During this journey, we will pass through the digestive, circulatory, and digestive systems to better understand how the body receives nutrients, how they are broken down, and finally, how they are expelled from the

been? The zika virus had caused many epidemics through the world. It has basically been almost EVERYWHERE! In 1952, Uganda Republic had its first human cases. From1960-2010, various places such as Kenya, Somalia, Nigeria, Angola, Senegal, etc, had blood samples that contained Zika antibodies. In 1964, it was the year that they reported that the virus causes diseases. In 2007, the federate states of Micronesia had its first large outbreak. In 2008, Senegal, reported the first human case that was

2. Description of the Diagnosis: Hyponatremia is the consequence of a pathological change in intake and output and reflects an exacerbation of the free water substance to solute degree and is connected to tonicity. Hyponatremia is oftentimes accompanied by other medical conditions such as dehydration or hypovolemia. Contemplations of hidden pathologies help the health awareness group in distinguishing the complete etiological picture, alongside the treatment arrangement (Treas & Wilkinson, p
