Dissections are performed on preserved animals donated specifically for science education in order to provide a hands-on experience to observe and study anatomy of an animal in three dimension, unlike a textbook, and how the organ systems are interconnected. In this particular dissection a fetal pig was used because the organs present in a pig, and their position in the body are similar to those of humans which provides insight on how human organs systems work overall and why they are essential to life. The purpose of our experiment was to focus on the external, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and excretory systems of the fetal pig to understand how theses system work together in order to sustain life.

INTRODUCTION: In this essay I will consider how I would use a nursing concept, respect whilst undertaking elimination needs. I will give clear definition of the concept (respect) and a nursing skill of my choice which is elimination needs. I will also, identify how the concept and skill is relevant in nursing. The main part of the assignment is to outline how respect would influence how elimination needs is undertaken in placement. Elimination covers wide ranges of aspect, such as urine, faeces, diarrhoea, emptying a catheter bag, vomiting etc. According to Perry, Peterson, and Potter (2003), normal elimination of the body wastes through the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts is a basic function that most people take for granted. Therefore, when either system fail, normal elimination does not take place.

The rainbow rage is a long and tiresome race, therefore, blood glucose levels may run low due to their depletion. The supply of glucose to the brain and immune system is important as competitors constantly rely on instantaneous decision making to ensure they make effective strategic moves. Glucagon is the hormone which ultimately increases blood glucose concentration by breaking down stored glycogen in muscle and fat cells, increasing the breakdown of fats and increasing liver glucose production. Each of these effects lead to an increased amount of glucose present in the bloodstream, meaning more energy for body cells. When the level of glucose in the bloodstream drops, more glucose is required in order to provide ATP for energy. The secretion of insulin by beta cells is inhibited

This article was about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. This is relevant to our course because in order to treat diseases like this we need to know how the body works in order to create treatment plans such as the ones in this article. I know of a few different people who suffer from inflammatory bowel disease. It really is not as uncommon as I thought. Reading this article kept me interested since I know people who have it. This made it easier to learn about because I would think about my family members and how they each have to deal with this disease. I wanted to learn more information so I could better understand what is going on with my family members who have Crohn’s disease. Since I was the only student who participated in the group discussion, I would have liked it better if I could have heard other students’ tell their personal relationship with someone who has inflammatory bowel disease. Also, I learn better if a student explains a complicated concept to me rather than a textbook or teacher. Sometimes if a classmate says something, then that helps me to

Based on my results of the self assessment the core physiological process that is the most compromised for me is, energy. For the last couple of years I have struggled to get a handle on my health and how I feel. My chief complaints have always been fatigue, heart palpitations and being winded. My result from the assessment made sense to me. It was talking about how on the mitochondrial level my system is compromised. I did not realize that the mitochondrial system was the cellular powerhouse for energy. The organs most affected are the brain, muscles, and heart since those organs have the highest mitochondrial activity. That explains the periodic brain fog, muscle fatigue, and heart palpitations.
