A nurse can
identify possible developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) during a newborn
assessment through asymmetry of the gluteal folds. Asymmetrical buttock creases can
suggest hip dysplasia in infants but an ultrasound or x-ray study will need to
be done to determine whether the hips are normal or not just like a hip click.
Answer:
1. Ends of the respiratory branches are called alveoli.
2. C. To control blood flow to different areas of the body depending on activities
Explanation:
1. The trachea divides into left and right primary bronchi which in turn divide multiple times upon entering the lungs and make the bronchial tree.
The final branches of the bronchial tree are the terminal bronchioles that lead to alveoli. The alveoli are the balloon-shaped structures and serve as the site of gas exchange between the blood and inhaled air.
2. The opening and closing of sphincters of capillary beds regulate the direction of blood flow. The opening of sphincters allows the blood to flow into associated branches of capillary beds while closed sphincters direct the blood from arterioles to venules via thoroughfare channel.
This local change in blood flow is responsible for the autoregulation of blood flow to different tissues to match their respective metabolic demands. For example, during physical activity, more blood is directed to skeletal and cardiac muscles.
Carrier and channel proteins in the plasma membrane
are similar because they are both transport membrane proteins that allow
molecules to flow in and out of the membrane. Meanwhile, carrier protein can
further be classify as active or passive transport. These two transport
proteins makes cell’s ability to perform their functions well by maintaining a
difference between the intracellular and extracellular environment.
