Protrusion of the upper stomach into the lower portion of the thorax.

When the upper portion of your stomach pushes through your diaphragm and into your chest cavity, it is known as a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia happens when the large muscle separating your chest from your abdomen gives way to the upper part of your stomach (diaphragm).

The patient's and his family's understanding of the changed relationship between the esophagus and the stomach is crucial. A section of the upper stomach slides up into the lower region of the thorax, and the diaphragm aperture through which the esophagus travels enlarges. The anomaly is not an involuntary, protruding, or twisted segment.

Answer:

Explanation:

I think it's true.

A patient should always be aware of what   he/she puts in their mouth and swallows. You don't really know, unless you study what the "medicine" does. And you should. You can trust your doctor to know what he/she is doing, but you should know as well.

You may uncover a reaction to what you are taking especially if your doctor does not know what you are doing. That's especially true of alternate medications which may work against what is prescribed. ]

A client is experiencing a sudden fluid shift as a result of diffusion. What variable most affects the rate of substance movemen
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Concentration, Temperature, Mass of Particle, Solvent /medium, surface area and permeability properties of membrane.

Explanation:

The random movement of particles causes the phenomenon called diffusion. The concentration gradients of particles pushes molecules in a direction such that molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion is a passive process (not requiring the input of energy).

The following variables are factors that affects diffusion;

Concentration - down concentration gradient favours diffusion.

Temperature - temperature increases diffusion , the kinetic energy associated with each particle also increases. 

Mass/size of Particle - Smaller particles on the other hand will diffuse faster because they can move faster.

Solvent /medium Properties - Viscosity and density of the medium greatly affect diffusion. Highly viscous and dense medium slows down diffusion.

Diffusion can occur through a membrane. The two factors that are particular to diffusion through a membrane are surface area and permeability.
