Thorax

True flies are insects of the order Diptera (from the Greek di = two, and ptera = wings). The most obvious distinction from other orders of insects is that a typical fly possesses a pair of flight wings on the mesothorax and a pair of halteres, derived from the hind wings, on the metathorax. (Some species of flies are exceptional in that they are secondarily flightless.) The only other order of insects bearing two true, functional wings plus any form of halteres are the Strepsiptera, and in contrast

urinary system. Key terms Skin grafts- A skin graft is a piece of unburned skin which is surgically removed to cover a burned area Rule of Nines-method used in calculating body surface area involved in burns: Head and neck, 9%; anterior thorax, 18%; posterior thorax, 18%; arms, 9% each; legs, 18% each; and genital,

Briefly identify, list, and describe the action of at least two of the following muscle types: Posterior muscles The anconeus muscle is a small muscle on the posterior aspect of the elbow joint. It facilitates in extension of the elbow. The triceps brachii is the main agonist supporting the elbow into a full extension. The supinator is a broad muscle in the posterior compartment of the forearm curved around the upper third portion of the radius. Its primary function is to supinate the forearm (MJC

Unit 5 P4, M1 and D1 This essay will explain the physiologies of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system and how they work in the metabolism of energy in the body. The respiratory system The respiration system is the process of supplying oxygen to the cells so that cells can metabolise energy. The main functions of the respiratory system are to maintain oxygen supply to cells, to remove water from the body, and to remove carbon dioxide from the body. It is divided into four sections

INTRODUCTION Introduction: According to the latest information from the WHO (World Health Organization) and CDC (Center of Disease Control), more than nine people die every minute from injuries or violence, and 5.8 million people of all ages and economic groups die every year from unintentional injuries and violence. The burden of injury is even more significant, accounting for 12% of the world’s burden of disease (Cannon et al., 2014). Penetrating abdominal trauma, including low and high velocity

Unit 5: Anatomy and Physiology (P4) Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In this task I am going to discuss the three systems involved in energy metabolism in the body. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + O2 = E + CO2 + H2O OR Glucose + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water In order to release energy we need glucose which is a simple carbohydrate that is produced after digestion of food and we also need oxygen

Introduction/Background High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is an imaging method that provides more detail than either chest radiography or conventional CT scanning 1 Compared to other diagnostic tests, like chest radiography and lung function test, HRCT can be more sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of diffuse lung diseases and detecting abnormalities at an early stage. HRCT can more accurately assess the pattern and distribution of diffuse lung disease, and to a lesser degree, assess

Introduction The shoulder is one of the largest and most complex joints in the human body(1)The shoulder is not a single joint; it is an intricate arrangement of bones, muscles and ligaments, which provides strength and range of motion to the arm(1, 2). Shoulder pain accounts for between 16-21% of all musculoskeletal complaints(3, 4). There are many causes of shoulder pain such as: repetitive movements and overuse, trauma, and degenerative changes. Shoulder pain and associated glenohumeral

A complete geriatric assessment of my neighbor Mr. C.T The geriatric populace is said to be the largest growing section in our country. According to the U.S Census Bureau in 2010 there were 40.3 million people aged 65 and older, which is roughly 13 percent of our population and as the baby boomer generation started to turn 65 in 2011, our society is expecting a major boom in its geriatric population (census.gov June 2014). My neighbor Mr. C.T, who at 72 years of age falls within that age bracket

The cardiovascular system: The function of the cardiovascular system is to circulate blood through a large network of vessels that run throughout the body. This provides each cell with nutrients and oxygen and also helps to dispose of waste products which is a main purpose of the cardiovascular system. Blood rich with oxygen leaves the heart via the arteries and also helps to deliver nutrients and oxygen to body cells. The cells use the oxygen to produce energy and in exchange the cells release waste
