Thoracic diaphragm

Adenocarcinoma is derived from ‘adeno’, which means gland, and ‘carcino’ for cancer. It can form in many parts of the body, but each tumor is unique to its location. As a respiratory cancer adenocarcinoma is found in the mucus-secreting cells on the outer part of the lungs. It is a part of a group of lung cancers known as non-small cell lung cancers, which are categorized together because of similar prognosis and treatment, rather than similar cellular shape like other diseases. Most cases of…

formation of other nodules on the neck, back and shoulders are used to make a proper diagnosis. FOP is also characterised by prolonged joint stiffness accompanied by excessive pain and discomfort. The disease affects a majority of the body excluding the diaphragm, tongue and also the cardiac and smooth muscles. Rather than crawling, most infants will “scoot on their buttocks; then get up and walk. Most cannot crawl because joints in the back of the neck have not formed properly or have fused,…

without ethnic, racial, gender, or geographic predilection (www.iofbonehealth.org). The median life span of someone with FOP is reduced to 40 years due to the debilitating nature of the disorder, with death usually being caused by the complications of thoracic insufficiency syndrome in the later decades of life. FOP causes muscles and connective tissues such as tendons and cartilage to be gradually replaced by bone, resulting in bone forming outside of the skeleton which locks joints into place…

The stomach appears somewhat deflated. The esophagus is identified as well as where it goes through the diaphragm. This is called the cardiac end of the stomach. This contains a cardiac sphincter that controls the entrance of food into the stomach from the esophagus. The top portion of the stomach is called the fundus with the lower portion called the body.…

Understanding oxygen supply and demand while working in the health care field is essential. The tissue cell mitochondria need to have adequate oxygen for metabolic consumption and ATP production. There are limited means of oxygen storage in the tissues; as such a continuous supply of oxygen is required. The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together to make sure oxygen is delivered throughout the body, and that these continuous requirements are met. Exploring the main role of the…

and flexibility, and are also the ones which define the human form. Smooth muscle fibers make up the involuntary muscles that power most of our life processes. These include the muscles which line the viscera, those of the stomach, throat, and diaphragm, to name a few. These muscles also aid in secretion processes that aid in digestion as well as in energy…

Physiology report – Hockey 1. Describe (give a detailed account) the major energy system that is used in a sport of your choice? The sport I have chosen to discuss is hockey. In the game of hockey, all three energy systems are used to create the needed energy to carry out different parts in the game of hockey. The first energy system that is used in the game of hockey is the creatine phosphate system or the CP system. The CP system provides immediate energy and ATP is produced without the…

The human body has two major circulatory systems: the blood and lymphatic systems. Although the blood vascular system and the lymphatic system operate in parallel and share some anatomical features, the two vascular systems have had very different fates in science and medicine, as they display distinct structural and functional features. While the blood system has been extensively studied and examined, the lymphatic system has been neglected and considered as less important compared with the…

What is comparative anatomy, and what can we gain from it? Comparative anatomy is Organisms that are closely related to one another share many anatomical similarities. Sometimes the similarities are conspicuous, as between crocodiles and alligators, but in other cases considerable study is needed for a full appreciation of relationships like in cats and humans. Many anatomy students will end dissecting a cat long before they go near a human cadaver, there are many reasons for this such as lack…
