Thoracic diaphragm

gas exchange, and exhalation. The medulla oblongata controls the body when to breathe. During the ventilation, process the phrenic nerve sends a signal to the primary breathing muscle, the diaphragm then contracts and flattens downward giving more space in the thoracic cavity. By increasing space in the thoracic cavity, this causes a decrease in pressure therefore allowing air to rush into the lungs. The trachea divides into smaller airways called bronchi. As bronchi divide farther…

The respiratory system is a vital factor of gas exchange due to its structure. The structure provides an efficiency to the process due gas exchange requiring an efficient system. Gas exchange requires an efficient system because it is a process through which blood circulates around the body, collects oxygen, delivers the oxygen to the organs that require it and releases carbon dioxide. Oxygen enters the body, and carbon dioxide exits the body in opposite the direction. Gas exchange occurs across…

Also known as the thoracic diaphragm. Thermoregulation Thermoregulation is the process that allows the body’s temperature to stay the same, it is like having an internal thermometer. A part of it is called Vasodilation is the widening of blood vessels by relaxing it makes it…

Effect of studying systems of Fetal pig Purpose The purpose of this pig dissection lab is to organize the body sturcture by observing external anatomy, oral cavity, neck, superficial muscles, thoracic cavity, abdominal cavity, and both male and female reproductive systems. By studying the systems of the pig, it helps understand the systems of the humans because humans and pigs are both mammals which we can assume that systems of pig and human are similar. Results The sex of pig was able to…

Care of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury Spinal cord injury is an event that changes a person’s life forever. The classifications of spinal cord injuries are concussion, compression, contusion, laceration, and transection. Injury can be complete or incomplete (Nayduch., 2010). The type and location of the spinal cord injury will determine the care and management of the patient and subsequent complications that arise from the injury. The research will focus on evidenced-based medical, surgical…

deviation from massage and chiropractic therapy. In my own words, it’s as if a physical therapist, chiropractor, and a massage therapist combined their practice a named it muscle therapy. The injury I sustained was a sprained meniscus, a thoracic strain, and thoracic sprain from a fall off a waterski ramp. I was originally referred to a physical therapist but I stopped going after two weeks. I realized they gave me the same exercise to do every time I went and my healing would surely…

The right and left hypochondriac regions are superior, or above, to the right and left lumbar region, as well as they are located on either side of the epigastric region. The right and left hypochondriac regions contain the diaphragm, some of the kidneys, the right side of the liver, the spleen, and part of the pancreas. The epigastric region follows and is superior to the umbilical region. The epigastric region contains a majority of the pancreas, part of the stomach, part of…

incarceration of the omenta observed. A large hernia was visualized on the anterior aspect of the diaphragm, measuring roughly 7 cm wide and 3 cm in the anteroposterior distance. The Morgagni hernia was then repaired with three #2 Ethibond interrupted sutures via vertical mattress. The sutures were brought through the subxiphoid abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity, passed through the diaphragm, then brought out of the abdominal wall again through the same skin hole. The three sutures…

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Inspiration, which is an active part of respiration, is initiated by the respiratory control center in medulla oblongata. Nerve impulses from medulla oblongata causes diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles to contract, which leads to the expansion of the thoracic cavity. According…

Our bodies maintain many complex systems in order to have a consistent internal environment to achieve homeostasis. The lungs which are part of the respiratory system play a crucial role in homeostasis by controlling our breathing. The lungs provide the appropriate interface for gas exchange to occur, this includes the delivery of oxygen to the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide carried in the blood to the alveoli which is then expired out of the body. The removal of carbon dioxide also…
