The nursing action should be checking of residual every four to six hours, follow protocol for slowing or withholding feedings for excess residual volumes in which some facilities hold for residual volumes of 100 or 200 ml then restart at the lower rate after a period of rest, check pump for proper operation and ensure feeding infused at correct rate.

How is cytokinesis different in animals and plants? Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the p
jasenka [17]
<h2><em>Let's review what cytokinesis is first.</em></h2>

<em>Cytokensis</em> is the <em>physical process of cell division</em>. It divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two different daughter cells.

In plants, a cell wall forms. Cytokensis occurs in mitosis and meiosis. The objective for cytokensis is to divide the parent cell into two daughter cells. So cytokensis in plants is when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells. Plant cells have walls, so they CANNOT divide using a cleavage furrow. A cell plate forms across the cell during telophase.

In animal cells, cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half and forms two different cells.  

<em>A cleavage furrow is an indentation that appears in the cells surface when the cell is preparing to divide.</em>

So, let's review our options:

A: Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells by the cell membrane; the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

This would be the <em>correct answer.</em><em> </em>The only main difference between animal cell cytokensis vs plant cell cytokensis is the cell wall that animal cells lack. Animal cells get pinched into two daughter cells, by the cleavage furrow in the cell membrane, while the plant cell has to form a cell plate before it can create daughter cells.

B: Animal cells give daughter cells a full set of chromosomes at the time of division; plant cells give daughter cells a half set of chromosomes. .

This can be disproven. In meosis, a cell divides into four cells that have half the number of chromosomes. In mitosis, all chromosomes are kept. Both Plant & Animal cells both reproduce using both both meosis and mitosis, so this option is <em>irrelevant. </em>

C: Animal cells require an extra grow phase before cytokensis; plant cells move straight to cytokensis.

Both animal cells and plant cells have the same amount of "grow phases" before cytokensis. This option is<em> irrelevant. </em>

D: Animal cells begin cytokensis during anaphase, plant cells begin around the same time as telophase.

They both begin during the same time. This option is also<em> irrelevant.</em>

What is the sequence the organs that are involved in each step of digestion
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The gastrointestinal tract comprises of Mouth-Esophagus-Stomach-Small intestine-Colon-Rectum.

Liver, pancreas and gallbladder are solid organs of digestive system.

Explanation:

Digestion is the process involved in the conversion of large complex food molecules into smaller nutrients that can be used by body cells for survival and carry out their function. The digestive system comprises of various subsequent organs that digest the food.

  • Digestion starts in mouth where salivary glands digest the carbohydrates.
  • The food moves from mouth to stomach through alimentary canal known as esophagus. It includes peristalsis movements.
  • The stomach mixes the food with digestive juices and move the chyme to small intestine.
  • The small intestine mixes the food with juices secreted from pancreas, liver and intestine and pass it to large intestine.
  • The large intestine digest the water content from indigested food and pass the reamining to rectum.
  • The rectum store the undigested food and excrete it through anus.
