Air is warmed and moisturized as it enters your nose or mouth as your lungs expand. It then passes through your windpipe and into your bronchial tubes, which connect your windpipe to your lungs. When air reaches your lungs, it passes via the alveoli (air sacs) and into your bloodstream.
Answer:
In other words, our minds can affect how healthy our bodies are! On the other hand, what we do with our physical body (what we eat, how much we exercise, even our posture) can impact our mental state (again positively or negatively). This results in a complex interrelationship between our minds and bodies.
Answer:
The burn may be classified as a <u>Fourth-degree burn with 31 % of TBSA.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
There are 4 types of burn classifications: Superficial burn <u>(first-degree)</u>, Superficial partial thickness burn or Deep partial thickness burn<u> (second-degree),</u> Full thickness burn <u>(third-degree),</u> and Fourth-degree burn.
<h3>Superficial burn or First-degree burn</h3>
- Involved layer is <u>epidermis</u>
- It appears red <u>without blisters</u> with <u>dry</u> texture
- With sensation of <u>pain is present</u>
- Healing time <u>within 5 - 10 days</u> and heals well with <u>no complications</u>.
<h3>Superficial partial thickness burn/Deep partial thickness burn or Second-degree burn</h3>
- It extends to the <u>dermis</u>. (<em>papillary</em> for superficial, <em>reticular</em> for deep)
- <u>Blanches with pressure</u>, <u>with or without blistering</u>, <u>red to yellow, white appearance, moist to dry texture</u>
- It still presents <u>with pain</u>, superficial and deep.
- Healing may take <u>2-3 weeks for superficial, 3-8 weeks for deep</u>. Local infection may occur and scarring may ensue.
<h3>Full thickness burn (Third-degree)</h3>
- Destroys the <u>entire dermis.</u>
- <u>Stiff with white-brown appearance</u>, <u>NO blanching, with leathery texture.</u>
- <u>Painless</u>
- <u>Long time needed for recovery</u>. It may need surgical removal of dead tissue.
<h3>Fourth-degree burn</h3>
- Encompasses the <u>whole layer of skin and underlying fat, exposing the bones and/or muscles.</u>
- <u>Black and charred (eschar), dry texture.</u>
- <u>Painless</u>
- Definitely <u>needs surgical removal of dead tissue</u> to allow recovery.
- It may also cause <u>significant functional disability</u>.
<h3 /><h3>Wallace “Rule of Nines” </h3>
To determine for the burn percentage, we use the <em>Wallace “Rule of Nines” </em>chart. It <u>estimates the percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) that has been destroyed by burns</u>. The diagram attached shows the body divided into multiple sections which represent 9% of the body surface area.
For the example, we have the following given and corresponding percentages:
- Entire surface of the right lower limb - 18% (the whole right leg is affected, front and back, so that's 18%)
- Entire surface of right trunk - 9% (The trunk is 18% in whole, but in this example, only the right trunk is affected, so that's 9%)
- Anterior surface of the right upper limb - 4.5% (Only the front surface of the right arm is affected so it's 4.5%)
% TSBA = 18 + 9 + 4.5
<h3><u>
% TSBA = 31.5 %</u></h3>
Both the nervous and endocrine systems play a vital role in the survival of a person. They send messages to target areas in order to support life. The messages sent by the nervous system which are being released into a synapse are called neurotransmitters while the ones sent by the endocrine system via the bloodstream are called hormones.
