juin [17]

Answer:

<em>Maintain aseptic technique.</em>

Explanation:

Aseptic techniques involves following the practices and procedures that prevents or reduces contamination by pathogens. A burn patient can have his protective upper skin layer removed, exposing the vulnerable inner skin layer. The inner skin layer is susceptible to infection, and if infected, can lead to further medical complication, which might even end up fatal.<em> Aseptic technique involves the use of barrier to minimize contact between the patient and the medical personnel. Such barriers includes sterile gloves , sterile gowns , masks for the patient and healthcare personnel, and  sterile drapes . Sterile barriers should not have touched contaminated surface, and should be prepacked and sealed. Medical instruments should be sterilized too.</em>

Cilia lining the nasal cavity and nasopharynx beat in unison to propel mucus and debris inferiorly. Cilia lining the respiratory
Maslowich

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Explain the reason for this functional difference, would be: that both movements seek to propel mucus and debris, those who enter through the nasal cavity and the nasopharynx, and the mucus that is produced by the respiratory tract as a defense mechanism against debris that might have entered the tract, towards the esophagus, for expulsion from the body.

Explanation:

The air that we breathe does not simply carry gases that we use for survival; it also carries in it debris, dust particles and microorganisms that may enter the body through it and cause damage to the respiratory tract. In order to protect us from that, our bodies, and especially our upper and lower airways count with a series of protective mechanisms. One of those mechanisms is the production of mucus, both in the upper and lower airways, that traps these unwanted invaders and prevents them from reaching the sensitive and vulnerable lungs. However, this mucus needs to be moved, and for that, the airways count with cilia, brush-like extensions that propel the mucus and the debris, microorganisms and dust, that might have been caught in it, so that they can be expelled. While in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx the need is for this mucus and its passangers to reach the esophagus below, the movement will be downwards, while, those in the respiratory tract, need the mucus to reach the esophagus, whose opening lies superiorly; therefore, the cilia here will propel the mucus upwards, and towards the esophagus.
