The distance measured from the tip of the nose to the earlobe and from the earlobe to the xiphoid process

Inserting NGT can gain access to the stomach and its content. Draining of stomach content is possible, decompression or obtain a specimen of the gastric content is possible. This can allow gastric immobility and gastric obstruction to be identified. This is usually contraindicted to patients with facial trauma due to possibility of inserting the tube intracranially. Complications that can be expected are aspiration, trauma.

Because of the property of paleomagnetism, _____
AleksAgata [21]
Because of the property of paleomagnetism, iron rich rocks show the location of magnetic poles at the time of their formation.
Paleomagnetism is concerned with the study of materials that have a record of the earth's magnetic field due to the content of magnetizable material within them. As iron is easily magnetized, materials with a high iron content are likely to indicate the nature of the magnetic field of the earth when they are formed.

Although net filtration occurs at the ____________ end of a capillary and net reabsorption at its ____________ end, not all of t
adoni [48]

Answer:

Although net filtration occurs at the ARTERIAL end of a capillary and net reabsorption at its VENOUS end, not all of the fluid is reabsorbed.

Explanation:

Net filtration is majorly observed in proximity to the arterial end of the capillary due to the fact that capillary hydrostatic pressure (CHP) is much more than blood colloidal osmotic pressure (BCOP). There happens to be no net movement of fluid to be seen in proximity to the midpoint due to the fact that CHP = BCOP. Net reabsorption is seen to be found at proximity to the venous end as a result of BCOP to be much more than CHP.
