Essays on Rib

It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

Emphysema is a type of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease) that progressively damages the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs and is mainly associated with smoking (Wells et al., 2012). The disease mainly causes breathing difficulties whereby this is associated with over-inflation of the air sacs in the lungs. As such, “barrel chest” configuration is among the key characteristics for emphysema whereby individuals suffering from the disease usually develop a “barrel chest” following progression of the disease. Based on the case study, the nurse would obviously expect the patient to have a “barrel chest” since he has had the ...

Introduction

The exchange of respiratory gas is limited by the capacity of the respiratory muscles to circulate air in the lung. Ventilation fails when muscles do not have the capacity to cope with the load brought by the mechanics of the pulmonary system. It is crucial to comprehend the mechanics of respiration/breathing not only for purposes of diagnosing how the system has failed and to offer the correct prescription for treatment of the failure, but to be capable of providing the most effectual temporary respiratory support through the use of a mechanical ventilator, as well. The first category explains the ...

1- Define Biaxial Weaving? Biaxial Weaving is when the fiber tows that are brought together from two different sources on the loom. When the warp tows, they are unwound from the rack.2- Define Straight Grain and describe what can happen if the grain is not straight? A quality woven fabric is a straight grain. If the yarns do not interlace at 90 degrees, it will result is the bowing or skewing of the fabrics. The fabrics that are bowed, tend to sag and the fabrics that are skewed, tend to produce a lopsided or crooked appearance. 3- What is ...

Respiration is essential in the survival of all living organisms. It is a process where gas exchange occurs in all biological organisms. In the case of animals such as humans, respiration is affected by the ratio of the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. The human body generally requires oxygen gas because it is only through this aerobic respiration by which metabolic functions are assumed to maintain homeostasis. In humans there is a specific organ system which is solely dedicated to respiration known as the respiratory system. The human respiratory system constitutes different types of organs which performs ...

Literature review

Heat transfer and friction characteristics in a square duct roughened by various shaped ribs on one wall [Aliaga, b, 1994]. Liquid crystal thermograph is used to measure local and average heat transfer coefficient of ribbed surface. The ribs height to duct hydraulic diameter ratio is fixed to 0.1. The rib pitch to height ratio varies from 8 to 15 and Reynolds number spans from 8000 to 20,000[Aliaga, b, 1994]. The experiment consists of heat transfer test and pressure test. The test experiment consists of 750mm long smooth duct followed by a rib-roughened section of equal length. Plexiglas plates are applied to ...

The trachea is the tube that connects the bronchi to the throat. The bronchi are further trachea divisions. One proceeds to left lung while the other into the right one. In the lungs, each bronchi separates into smaller bronchi. The broncheoli are bronchi branches, which are smaller tubes that amount to pulmonary alveolus. The pulmonary alveoli are tiny air sacs delineated through single-layer membranes that have blood capillaries on either end. The lungs’ inner surfaces are where gaseous exchange takes place due to the alveoli structure. The lungs are a pair of organs within the vertebrates (Collins & Eric, 2012). For ...

Comparison between invasive & non-invasive ventilation in managing flail chest

Abstract Background Invasive ventilation has been beneficial with the provision of the airway defense for patients with respiratory complications and blunt injury such as the flail chest. It increases the airway defense and consequently minimizes the risk of reparatory related infections. Furthermore, invasive ventilation has the ability to allot the flow of lower tidal volumes. On the other hand, non-invasive ventilations involve the use of a ventilator support without the invasive artificial airway. This type of ventilation has been in a wide use and it has become popular within the previous two decades. The flexibility nature of the method ...

The patient was a 24-year-old black male who was brought to the emergency room via an ambulance on June 21 at 03:50 pm. The report indicated that it was a pedestrian versus vehicle accident. The state of the patient reported included acute lung injury, pulmonary contusion, deep road rash extending over right side of axillary region to the abdomen, deep avulsion to the right hip area and exposed muscles. Trauma alert team and the respiratory therapist were called to the bedside. The patient developed respiratory failure and immediately was intubated by the respiratory therapist with an endotracheal tube size 7.5 mm. ...

The relationship between religious views of creation and the way that humans based on these views think about our relation to nature and/or other cultures and peoples. The primary religious views of creation which are; evolutionary creation, dynamic development and young-earth creation are treated as consistent with a Judeo-Christian doctrine of theistic formation. Religious views of creation in the bible, Genesis 1:1-3a NRSV, it is well written that the earth was void and darkness was in control covering the surface of the deep while wind from God swept over the face of the waters and God said, ‘Let there ...

The Digestive Tract

Part I: Parts of the Digestive Tract/System Part II Section A The Mouth The digestive tract starts at the mouth. This is the first step of digestion. When one takes the first bite, food begins the digestion process through chewing. Chewing breaks down the food into more soluble pieces. This also increases the surface area for which the digestive enzymes can work on the food in the latter stages of the digestion process.

Oesophagus

The oesophagus is located in the throat near the windpipe (trachea). This is the second stage of the digestion process. This part ...

The human inclination to seek explanations for the strange and unusual is as old as human civilization. The supernatural has always provided a convenient rationale for forces that are beyond human control and understanding. War, disease and other natural phenomena are misfortunes that have been ascribed to the influence of witchcraft, of a force directed by a malevolent intelligence bent on subverting the harmony of a godly universe. Patriarchal European society has historically assigned witchcraft a decidedly feminine cast, an image that was formalized during the Middle Ages by the church and in print. The result was centuries of gender-based persecution, torture and violent ...

Arch bridge is a symbol of the end of a new beginning making it possible to combine and unite two different countries and geographical regions divided by a water body. It has been architecturally designed in an elegant way. Architectural model designs of a bridge are achieved by changes in sling surfaces and changes in arch rib to suit the landscape significantly (Ying, Xiangyu & Huxiang, 194). Complex and beautiful architecture is used to construct permanent bridges which serve the current and future generations.

A bridge which is constructed for facilitating passage purposes and providing pathways holds deep symbolic meanings. Apart from the ...
