Jacques Coustean The country of France has contributed many brilliant cultural figures over their nation’s history. There is a long and complicated history of rulers, musicians, artists, and philosophers. But what name was the first to come to mind when I began to search for an artist from my ancestor’s country of origin? None other than Jacques Cousteau, the red-knit-cap-wearing, fishy-loving filmmaker who pioneered underwater photography. Through the use of documentary, Cousteau brought up

Along with localizing the product, businesses should adjust their advertising strategy to better suit the intended market in order to “…promote consumer awareness of its products” (Ramarapu, Timmerman, & Ramarapu, 1999). This is the third issue that U.S. businesses should address. Advertising characteristics, regulations, and customs differ between cultures. For example, it may be perfectly legal and socially acceptable to advertise a product on a billboard in the United States, but this practice
All I remember from my tenth birthday is how psyched I was about having received the very Barbie doll I’d wanted from my beautiful big sister Maggie. She’d just gone off to college, and anything we shared was automatically the most precious thing I owned. That Barbie doll with golden hair and tinsel adorned clothing became my obsession. For days I came home after school and locked myself in my room until Mother forced me to come and eat dinner with the family. Father always tried to occupy me
Growing up in the 90’s and being around during Mattel’s process of upgrading Barbie has had its positives and negatives. As a young girl Barbie made many girls very happy, there were times girls use to have play dates just to see who had the new Barbie wardrobe, shoes, car, and pets. Being a little girl and going over to a friends or relatives house just to play Barbie was the highlight of most of the girls day. The reason why is because back then, they had just came out with the new Barbie doll
Barbie, Mattel’s Iconic Doll, is a doll that allows children to imagine their futures. Back when Barbie first appeared on the shelves, she was blonde wearing a black and white stripped swimming suit. Today, Barbie Dolls have many different careers and ethnicities. Barbie getting from point A to B wasn’t easy, since she had a life filled with controversy. Should Barbie get a makeover? I feel that if this question is rearranged to say, ‘Should Barbie get a makeover to become what society believes to

cyclically moving air in and out of the lungs so alveolar air that has given up oxygen and picked up carbon dioxide can be exchanged for fresh air from the atmosphere. Ventilation is accomplished from the system alternately shifting the direction of the pressure gradient for airflow between the atmosphere and the alveoli through the expansion and recoiling of the lungs. Contraction of the inspiratory muscles indirectly produces inflation and deflation of the lungs by continuously expanding and compressing
Chronic Bronchitis Chronic bronchitis is a disorder that causes inflammation to the airway, mainly the bronchial tubules. It produces a chronic cough that lasts three consecutive months for more than two successive years (Vijayan,2013). Chronic Bronchitis is a member of the COPD family and is prominently seen in cigarette smokers. Other factors such as air pollutants, Asbestos, and working in coal mines contributes to inflammation. Once the irritant comes in contact with the mucosa of the bronchi
Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lungs has been extensively described in association with other congenital abnormalities such as bronchopulmonary sequestration and hypogenetic lung syndrome (scimitar syndrome). In 1946, Pryce introduced the term ‘sequestration’ to describe congenital abnormalities characterised by an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lung and atresia or hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery. Sequestration was defined by Pryce as a “disconnected (dislocated, ectopic)
Pulmonary Fibrosis Pulmonary Fibrosis is a condition where the lung tissue becomes thick and scarred. The thickening and scarring of the lungs makes it hard for the oxygen supply to be delivered throughout the body. The scarring can be caused by many different factors, but it is hard for doctors to figure out exactly what caused the onset of this disease. The damage caused by this disease cannot be repaired. Pulmonary Fibrosis usually affects the age group of forty to seventy years old. Men are more
Unpleasant breathlessness that comes on suddenly or without expectation can be due to a serious underlying medical condition. Pneumonia can impact the very young and very old, asthma tends to affect young children, smokers are at greater risk of lung and heart disease and the elderly may develop heart failure. However, medical attention always needed by all these conditions as it can affect any age group and severe breathlessnes. There are short and long term causes of dyspnea. Sudden and unexpected
obstructive pulmonary disease, better known as COPD, is a disease that affects a person’s ability to breathe normal. COPD is a combination of two major lung diseases: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Bronchitis affects the bronchioles and emphysema affects the alveoli. To better understand how COPD affects an individual you should first know how the lungs function. When you breathe in air it first goes through your trachea then into your bronchioles. Once in the bronchioles the air goes to the air
cells shapes are part of a type of an epithelia tissue which is the simple Epithelia. There are columnar cells, which means column-like cells and squamous cells, which are flattened and scale-like cells, simple squamous epithelia is found in walls of lung alveoli, blood capillaries and bowman’s
system consists of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide gas. Oxygen in air enters through the upper respiratory tract, which begins with the nose and the mouth, and is carried into the pharynx, the trachea, and into the lungs, where the exchange of gases occurs. The Human Respiratory System Human life depends on the presence of food, water and oxygen in order to sustain the body’s various functions. Every cell in the body needs oxygen to carry out its functions, including
designed to aid the body in moving gas in and out of the lungs. Breathing, the process of moving air into and out of the lungs, and can be also called as ventilation. The process of breathing includes, inhaling certain amount of volume through the mouth or nose and moving into the pharynx, trachea and bronchi respectively, During inspiration, The diaphragm contracts by moving downwards that helps to increase the chest cavity space which helps the lungs to expand. During expiration, the diaphragm relaxes
Living thing need air to breath. Air unseen and untouchable. Air are consist of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gaseous. Nitrogen is an important element for the living organisms to live and to form the complex organic molecules such as proteins and amino acids. However, most of the living organisms such as plants can only use the nitrogen which already in compound form because the pure nitrogen is inactive and the strong triple bond between its atoms are difficult to break. In order to
affects the body by limiting the flow of air into the lungs. It causes airway inflammation, bronchial restriction and irregular airway obstruction. Airway inflammation is how the body reacts to something that is irritating the airways. When happening your lungs begin swelling, your breathing passageway becomes restricted and mucus is secreted. Bronchial restriction happens when the muscles in your airways tighten around the breathing tubes in your lungs. (Bronchial tubes). Mucus or fluid that is accumulated
you started to think how is this possible. What is COPD and can anyone get it? After reading this paper you understand the diagnosis, treatment of COPD, pathophysiology of COPD. What is COPD? COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic lung disease that makes it hard to breath. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease changes patient’s everyday lifestyles.
