Stoma Essays

Ileostomy Surgery Ileostomy surgery redirects part of the small intestine (ileum) to an external opening (stoma) in the abdomen. This means that waste is passed through the stoma, instead of passing through the rest of the intestines and the rectum (bowel). The stoma may have a valve and a tube (catheter) to pass waste, and there may be an external pouch (ostomy pouch) attached to the stoma to collect waste. This procedure may be necessary when the bowel is diseased or partially removed. It can be

commonly used for treating bladder cancer (Ping Han and Qiang Wei, 2007). An ileal conduit is where a tube is made using a piece of the ileum. This tube runs from the kidneys to a surgical opening in the abdomen. This opening allows urine to drain into a stoma that is located on the abdominal wall (Dougherty and Lister, 2008). This surgery is life changing and highly distressing for patients. Nurses must meet the psychological, educational and physical needs of patients undergoing this surgery in order to

Osmosis occurs by itself and is an automatic function. Distilled water has a higher chance of stomas opening than the other solutions. It only lets in certain solutes and that is why the stomata opened for distilled water. Osmosis is important because it evens out the concentration by going through the semi-permeable membrane. Yes, the results we

use energy from the sun to create energy. This is the chemical conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into pure oxygen. Water is obtained from the roots which travels to the leaves through xylems. Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomas, which are bounded by guard cells. Guard cells are responsible

Introduction/Description The purpose of this essay is to deliver a reflective account of the learning and educating actions required to change a stoma bag.

The Royal College of Nursing (RCN), 2015 describe reflection as a process where nurses are given the opportunity to reflect on significant events that have taken place and explore their knowledge and practical skills in an objective way.

[1] An ileostomy is created by bringing the terminal small bowel through a trephine incision preferably through the rectus muscle and then creating an everted sprout of 2-3 cms in length [2] An ileostomy may be permanent or temporary depending upon their role [3]. There are various reasons for creating an ileostomy like intestinal obstruction, intestinal

the nail varnish coat back onto the leaf. 7. Using a hole punch, cut 10 uniform leaf discs from the same leaf the nail varnish coating is on. 8. Use the marks of the stomata as guidance, make sure one stoma is in one leaf disc and do not cut through any major veins in the leaf or cut through a stoma. 9. Remove the plunger from the syringe barrel and place the ten leaf discs into the syringe barrel. 10. Place the plunger back into the syringe barrel then carefully push the plunger down until there

When the larynx is removed, the top of the trachea immediately below the larynx is attached to a permanent opening made in the throat called a stoma. It is through this opening that the laryngectomee breathes. Laryngectomy could be done in partial removal and total removal. In case of total removal of larynx, the voice is lost completely and the patient now relies on ways of artificial speech.

The movement of gas through the larynx, pharynx and mouth allows humans to speak, or phonate. Vocalization, or singing, in birds occurs via the syrinx, an organ located at the base of the trachea. The vibration of air flowing across the larynx, in humans, and the syrinx, in birds, results in sound. Because of this, gas movement is extremely vital for communication purposes. Temperature control Panting in dogs, cats and some other animals provides a means of controlling body temperature. This

palisade mesophyll where they are taken in by the thylakoid. Then, the xylem carries the water from the roots of the plant. Afterwards, the sunlight and water are taken in by the chlorophyll where they are converted into oxygen and it exits through the stoma. The chlorophyll additionally produce the chemical energy ATP and NADPH which are taken to the Calvin Cycle. This is where carbon dioxide and chemical energy produce glucose and cellulose (which serves as food for the plant; it exits phloem of the

Are the stem, holdfast, and blade of brown algae the same as stems, roots, and leaves of land plants? why or why not? The blade of the brown algae is different from the leaves of the land plants because they lack a stoma, a cuticle and other cells which the plant leaves have.

Cii: Interpretation of Data The data above collected from a lab experiment to determine the average amount of leaf discs floating when exposed to different frequencies this gives us results to see determine the rate of photosynthesis under various lighting conditions. Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in all plants, some bacteria, particular algae and few other species. This is because these organisms’ have a unique ability to produce their own food from the raw materials gathered by the
