Answer:

House of Representatives:

Speaker of the House- Presiding officer for the House of Representatives and leader of the majority party in the House

Decides which members get to speak first in proceedings

Appoints the members to congressional committees

Schedules bills for action

House Majority Leader- Top assistant for the Speaker

Comes from the majority party of the House

Helps to plan legislative agenda

Coordinates with chairpersons of committees

House Majority Whip- Assistant for the majority leader

Mostly responsible for speaking with members to see how they are voting on bills

House Minority Leader and Whip - Comes from the minority party of the House

Same responsibilities as the majority leader and whip

SENATE

Vice President- is the President of the Senate

Cannot take part in Senate debate and can only vote to break a tie

Because this is all the Constitution allows the VP to do, unofficially VPs have been given more responsibilities by the president

If there is a presidential tie in the next election, they break it.

President Pro Tempore- Presides over the Senate when the Vice President is not available

Elected from the majority party

More of an honorary position, typically the longest serving member of the party

Senate Majority Leader- Organizes the schedule of bills through the Senate

Rallies support from the majority party for bills

Senate Minority Leader- Keeps the minority party united in support or opposition to a bill

Senate Majority and Minority Whips- Assistant to the leaders in the same manner as the House

History of bandaging

Answer:

Explanation:

A bandage is a piece of material used either to support a medical device such as a dressing or splint, or on its own to provide support to or to restrict the movement of a part of the body. When used with a dressing, the dressing is applied directly on a wound, and a bandage used to hold the dressing in place. Other bandages are used without dressings, such as elastic bandages that are used to reduce swelling or provide support to a sprained ankle. Tight bandages can be used to slow blood flow to an extremity, such as when a leg or arm is bleeding heavily.

Bandages are available in a wide range of types, from generic cloth strips to specialized shaped bandages designed for a specific limb or part of the body. Bandages can often be improvised as the situation demands, using clothing, blankets or other material. In American English, the word bandage is often used to indicate a small gauze dressing attached to an adhesive bandage.
