Surgery is the most common treatment for all stages of colon cancer. Cancer cells may be removed by one of the below procedures: • Local excision: This is done when the cancer is found at an early stage. The procedure does not require cutting of the abdomen wall in order to remove the cancer instead a tube with a cutting tube attached to it is placed up the rectum into the colon and then the cancer is cut out. Polypectomy is a similar procedure but the cancer cells are found within a polyp (a small bulging
Major veins and arteries are located in similar positions deep below skin and muscle tissue, make blood color and rate of bleeding important identifying factors. A few notable arteries and veins are located above the heart and into the neck, with the carotid arteries that pump blood into the brain and the jugular veins that drain blood back to the heart. Several large arteries and veins also flow through the extremities, specifically in the upper arm with brachial arteries and veins and in the upper
Instead they have the dorsal vessel which is a flexible tube running at length to the thorax and abdomen along the dorsal body wall. This “heart” has a closed hole at the posterior end and is open on the anterior end. The abdomen section of the dorsal vessel is considered the heart in arthropods. It is up divided into three chambers that are separated by ostia (tiny valve-like openings) where blood enters. Each
Reasons for Cardiac Surgery: The reasons for cardiac surgery includes the following: 1. To greatly increase the blood flow through the blocked artery. 2. To boost your physical ability. 3. To decrease the chest pain. 4. To reduce your risk for a heart attack. 5. It will help restore the function of the heart valve. 6. It will help to remove the plaque in the artery, thereby reduce the risk of the stroke. 7. Improves the supply of the blood and oxygen to the heart. 8. Boosts the pumping motion of the heart
analysis into the working of a Spleen and it role in our anatomy. We must first understand the anatomy of a human body beginning with the abdomen. The abdomen is broken down into four quadrants; right upper; left upper, right lower and left lower. The spleen is located in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen that also contains the stomach, left kidney left renal artery and portions of the pancreas, small intestine and colon. The spleen is typically purple or brown in color and is the size of a fist
capillaries arteries and then back to the heart again. The circulatory system consists of the heart which pump the blood and the blood vessels through which the blood is circulated to the body and back to the heart. According to Fosbery and Adams (2009) explain that the heart contract and force blood into blood vessels, there is a certain path that the blood follows through the body. The blood moves through pulmonary
Anatomy: General objectives: After completing the course the student will be able to: Explain each of the constituent parts of anatomical knowledge. Use appropriate terminology to describe different parts of the morphology of the human body. Based on anatomical knowledge, recognize the differences between normal and a vein. Use knowledge to interpret above normal physiology and pathophysiology. General contents: Overview: nomenclature, mapping, tissue, devices and systems. Histology. Overview
Keeping one’s stThe documentary “stress silent killer” was not only eye opening, but also enhanced the overall learning experience. As humans, we have a natural response to stress, and we cannot locate the off switch in regards to turning off the stress. Most often, we stress for no actual psychological purpose and we are doing so in a relentless manner. After time goes on the stress response turns out to be more impeding than the stressor itself. A definitive objective boils down to having the
Liver: Produces bile, stores glucose as glycogen (largest organ in the pig’s body). Diaphragm: Muscle forming the bottom of the chest cavity, becomes smaller when inhaling, larger when exhaling (separates thorax from abdomen). Gallbladder: Stores bile from the liver, then transfers it to the small intestine. Bile duct: Takes Bile from the gallbladder and empty it into the upper part of the small intestine. Small intestine: Long, narrow tube where most absorption occurs
Abdomen Our cadaver’s abdomen seemed generally to have been in good health. We did, however, find sutures in the right inguinal region. The possible causes for this will be discussed in detail below. As for the rest of the abdomen, we could clearly see all the organs. Although we at first struggled to find the celiac trunk, once we found it we understood the arterial supply as well as the relations of the arteries to the liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas and duodenum much better. After removing the
Coronary artery disease develops when your coronary arteries the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol containing deposits or plaque on your arteries are usually to blame for coronary artery disease. When plaques build up, they narrow your coronary arteries, causing your heart to receive less blood. Eventually, the decreased blood flow may cause chest pain, shortness of breath, or other coronary artery disease signs and
cause CHF like coronary artery disease, a heart attack, hypertension, and diabetes. In this paper I will give a case scenario about a patient I cared for, a thorough assessment, and come up with two nursing diagnosis that apply to this patient. Taking the diagnosis into account I will create two goals and two interventions for each goal. Case Scenario
Unfortunately, many specific heart problems fade away and fall under the umbrella of only two words. This research paper will discuss one of those heart problems, aortic dissection, in much more detail, than just two little words. The aorta is the largest artery in the body, responsible for the transfer of oxygenated blood from the heart to every organ of the body. Understandably, any disruption in the integrity of the aorta could have catastrophic consequences. An aortic dissection occurs when a tear in
intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. What are some symptoms of liver cancer? Most often there will be no signs of the disease until it is advanced in stage. But when symptoms do occur, they may be: Fatigue Bloating Pain on the right side of the upper abdomen Back and shoulder pains Nausea Loss of appetite Feelings of fullness Weight loss Weakness Fever Jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin) How is liver cancer diagnosed? Physical examination is used to evaluate enlargement and/or tenderness liver
known of killing at least five women within a mile of each other and in the WhiteChapel district, hence where he got the name, “the Whitechapel Murderer.” The women he killed were mostly prostitutes, who had their throats cut before having mutilated abdomens, says Wikipedia: Jack the Ripper. About two or three of the victims has their internal organs taken out, bringing up the idea that the killer had some kind of anatomical or surgical knowledge, says Wikipedia: Jack the Ripper. All five of the women
valves that produce the “lubb-dubb” sound so familiar to us. Like any other organs in our body, the heart needs a supply of blood and oxygen, and coronary arteries supply them. There are two main coronary arteries, the left coronary artery, and the right coronary artery. They branch off the main artery of the body, the aorta. The right coronary artery circles the right side and goes to the back of the heart.... ... middle of paper ... ...ll gland at the base of the brain, under the control of the
throughout the body through a network of many arteries and veins, providing it with nutrients and oxygen. Also, the cardiovascular fights infections and disease in the body and creates blood cells. Never the less, blood acts as a filtration system for the body and removes waste, cell debris, or bacteria from the bloodstream. As blood travels through the circulatory system, it is first pumped from the right side of the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and then separates into arterioles which
Chest Pain History of present illness: The patient is a 71 year old male of the Veteran Association. His past medical history includes coronary artery disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The patient was involved in a contraindication at home where he was thrown into a dresser and hit his lower back. Shortly following the incident the police were contacted. During this time the patient consequently began to develop some substernal chest pain with a radiation to the left arm; the patient
hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. People that have kidney problem must do a dialysis call hemodialysis (dialysis that is for people with kidney problems). Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is “a type of dialysis that uses the peritoneum in a person's abdomen as the membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the blood” (Wikipedia 1). Hemodialysis is the dialysis that I am going to talk about and going to observe for my subculture. Kidney.org is good sources that help explain
The pancreas is an important organ in digest system. This organ controls human sugar levels and produces a special juice that release the nutrients from food. It is located behind stomach and hormones is helps to break down the food. It aids digestion by producing a special tonic made of water, sodium bicarbonate and digestive enzyme. Sodium bicarbonate neutralizes the stomach is natural acidity, so these digestive enzymes can perform their jobs. Main function of endocrine of pancreas is to produce
