<span>Body composition, or the percentage of fat in comparison to the percentage of muscle, bone and water in your body, is hard to measure with a scale and measuring tape. Using existing measurements about bone weight based on size that you could find through research, if you measured the length of your arms or legs or your chest size, that could potentially tell you the size of your tibia, fibula, humurus, radius and so on. The scale would be able to tell you how much you weigh overall.</span>

Why can I only breathe through one nostril, how do I breathe through both?​
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Our bodies deliberately send more blood to an erectile tissue between the two nostrils to increase its size and direct the air flowing through one of the nostrils. After a few hours, the airflow switches to the other nostril.

Explanation:

I’ll bet most people don’t realize that when you breathe through your nose, you do so more from one nostril than the other and your body knows to switch to the other nostril every few hours. I had no idea. I’m only aware of any difference in my nostrils when I’m congested!

This nasal cycle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system which also controls things we don’t think about like heart rate and breathing

Why do we do this? Some scientists believe the alternating airflow allows each nostril to maintain optimal moisture levels so no one side gets dried out. It may also protect against respiratory infections or allergies.

Others believe it’s tied to our olfaction or sense of smell. It’s possible that the quicker and slower airflow in each nostril optimizes us to the vast range of smells. Some smells take longer to detect and transmit to the brain.

The nurse provides teaching to a client who will begin to receive tube feedings after a total laryngectomy. The nurse concludes
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

I will need tube feedings until healing of the incision is complete.

Explanation:

In this case, it is better to avoid food until the area is completely healed and this will stop any form of contamination or irritation. Because the structure was altered, the gag reflex is absent. The ability of the patient to belch does not impact the decision to resume feeding through the mouth. It is important to note that while such client can still tolerate feeding via the mouth, it is only withheld for a period to ensure that the surgical site is not irritated until it has completely healed.
