I ts acts as a pump regulator where it has 4 chambers.
keep in mind that out of four two take blood fromm all over the body while two transport ut to other organs through veins and capillaries.
the deoxygenated blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium.
As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.
When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the right atrium while the ventricle contracts.
As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.

Left side of the heart:
The pulmonary veins empty oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium.
As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve.
When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts.
As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

What is the similarity between toxicity caused by an overdose of acetylcholine or nicotine and by the use of ganglionic blockers
dem82 [27]

Explanation:

In neurology, postganglionic nerve fibers are autonomic nerve fibers from the ganglion to the effector organ. These, unlike preganglionic fibers (whose sole neurotransmitter is acetylcholine) have a variety of neurotransmitters to fulfill their functions.

Neurotransmitters

The neurotransmitters of postganglionic fibers are varied, and are distributed as follows:

In the parasympathetic nervous system, neurons are cholinergic (Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter)

In the sympathetic nervous system, neurons are mostly adrenergic (norepinephrine-epinephrine and / or norepinephrine, both have the same chemical structure, but epinephrine has a methyl group unlike norepinephrine that has a hydrogen, instead of a methyl group - act as the primary neurotransmitter) Two exceptions to this are the sympathetic innervation of the sweat glands and the piloerector muscles where the neurotransmitter in both pre and post ganglionic synapses is acetylcholine and in the vessels of the renal cortex where dopamine is used as the main neurotransmitter. Another exception is the sympathetic innervation of the medulla of the adrenal gland, which is innervated by preganglionic fibers, and subsequently uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. Adrenal medulla cells are, in fact, modified postganglionic neurons that secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine directly into the bloodstream rather than a synapse.

In both divisions of the autonomic nervous system, postganglionic neurons express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to receive signals from preganglionic neurons.

A client undergoing a skin test has been intradermally injected with a disease-specific antigen on the inner forearm. The client
yarga [219]

Answer:

Yes, there is a need to assure the client that this is a normal reaction.

Explanation:

In the given case, it is the duty of a nurse to assure the patient that swelling takes place while performing intradermal vaccination. As with the administration of disease-specific antigens, the injected area inflames that generally takes place due to the development of antibodies against the presented antigens.  

Thus, both the patient and the nurse need to be calm in such a situation and should leave the swelling open so that it can get heal by itself. In case, if one applies ice packs or rubs the affected area, it can enhance the condition and may result in more issues.
