Food and liquids are processed by the digestive system. After nutrients are absorbed during digestion, the excretory system removes solid waste products, or feces, through the rectum. The excretory system also works with the respiratory and circulatory systems and removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the body.
The first thing to do is activate
EMS. Use cool or cold water to cool the burn for 10 minutes as soon as
possible. ( Do not use ice or frozen compress.) Early cooling will minimize the
depth of injury and decrease pain. Remove jewelry near the affected area. Cover
the injury with dry, clean pad loosely
to protect it. Do not give food or drink to injured person. Keep him comfortable
until EMS arrives and takes over.
