A common example of active transport, or moving a substance against its gradient, is the maintaining of a balance of sodium and potassium inside and outside a cell. Obviously too much sodium inside the cell would cause cell death. So, the cell must actively regulate how much sodium is allowed in through the membrane.

Remodeling

Periosteal ,

Nedosteal,

The compact bone,

Spongy bone.

Explanation:

The constant, dynamic process of continual addition of new bone tissue (bone deposition) and removal of old bone tissue (bone resorption) is a process called bone remodeling. This ongoing process occurs at both the periosteal (outer) and nedosteal (inner) surfaces of a bone.

It is estimated that about nedosteal of the adult human skeleton is replaced yearly. This process does not occur at the same rate everywhere in the skeleton. For example, the compact bone in our skeleton is replaced at a slower rate than the spongy bone.

The registered nurse is overseeing a nursing student who is providing a dressing change to a patient who had a cesarean section.

natulia [17]

The nurse conducting wound care should choose a dressing that keeps the periwound skin dry and the surgical wound bed moist to contribute healing. The dressing used for wound care should control exudate from the wound, but it should not desiccate the wound bed. There must be a pressure in application while cleaning the periwound and wound may deepend the wound bed. Using sterile normal saline and a sterile gauze to clean the surgical wound reduces the incidences of infection.
