P2 Outline the Main Tissues Of The Body Epithelial Epithelial tissue is basically the linings of both the internal and external surfaces of the body and can be divided into two groups. The groups depend upon the number of layers of which it is composed. These two groups are simple epithelial and compound. Simple squamous are thin, flat plates and their main function is osmosis (which is the passage of water molecules from a region of low concentration to one of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane) and diffusion (which is the passage of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration). They form the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood capillaries, heart and lung alveoli and make up the outer layers of the skin.
(Feldman, 2001 p. 54) Arabella was full term, fully developed, and ready for birth, her mother’s body released the protein CRH which started the process of birth. Her labor seemed like it was an eternity, but was only 8 hours of contractions and hour and a half of labor, before Arabella was through the birth canal and into the Mid-wife’s hands. Following Arabella was the placenta and umbilical cord, which was still attached to Arabella. (Feldman, 2011, p.61-62). Arabella Dawn Barker’s mother welcomed her into the world on October 13, 2012.
Stabalize ABG and eventually wean off mechanical ventilation. Patient Assessment Summary (SOAP) Subjective: N/A Objective: HR 140, SpO2 91%, Vent settings SIMV PC on Rate 30, PS 5, Peep +5, FiO2 21%, temperature 36.9 degrees Celsius, skin is transparent and is tearing. CXR shows moderate RDS and worsening. Assessment: 23 week old premature infant weighed 500 grams and 10 in. long at birth, no known maternal history, pre-mature rupture of membranes.
Following an intensive screening and selection process the donor endures a few weeks of invasive medical procedures. First the donor and the woman who will carry the child must coordinate their menstrual cycles. Typically the donor and the recipient take birth-control pills, followed by shots of a synthetic hormone such as Lupron; the combination suppresses ovulation and puts their cycles in sync. After altering her cycle the donor must enhance her egg supply with fertility drugs in the same way an infertile woman does when trying to conceive. Shots of a fertility hormone are administered for seven to eleven days, to stimulate the production of an abnormally large number of egg-containing follicles.

Explain the following terms: A. Colostrum: Colostrum, a thin, watery, yellow fluid composed of protein, sugar, fat, water, minerals, vitamins, and maternal antibodies, is secreted by the acinar breast cells starting in the fourth month of pregnancy. For the first 3 or 4 days after birth, colostrum production continues. B. Oxytocin: a hormone released by the pituitary gland that causes increased contraction of the uterus during labor and stimulates the ejection of milk into the ducts of the breasts.
Abortion is the termination of the entire pregnancy yet selective reduction is performed to improve the survival rate of the remaining fetuses and also the mother. Selective reduction is performed early in the pregnancy, normally between weeks 9 and 12, it is most often performed when there are four or more fetuses present, can be used to reduce triplets to twins, and with a fetus with severe defects (www.webmd.com). Infants born part of a multiple pregnancy are at increased risk of prematurity, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, slow language development, behavioral difficulties, chronic lung disease, and death (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013). These risks play an important role in a mother’s decision to utilize selective reduction. Maternal risks of a multi-fetal pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013).
Child mortality – deaths that occur between the first birthday and 12 years of age. Colostrum – concentrated form of breast milk, rich in antibodies. It is produced on the first few days after birth. Congenital abnormality – malformed body parts (either external or internal)
Department of Health (2004). Labour itself can be defined as the process whereby the fetus, placenta and membranes are expelled via the birth canal, Stables and Rankin (2010). Taking this further, normal labour constitutes the above process with the addition of “Spontaneous in onset, low risk at the start of labour and remaining so throughout labour and delivery. The infant is born spontaneously in the vertex position between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation. After birth the mother and infant are in good condition.” (World Health Organisation, (WHO) (1999).
Menstruation Menstruation is the elimination of the thickened lining of the uterus (endometrium) from the body through the vagina. Menstrual fluid contains blood, cells from the lining of the uterus (endometrial cells) and mucus. The average length of a period is between three days and one week, depending on the individual. Sanitary pads or tampons are used to absorb the menstrual flow. Both pads and tampons need to be changed regularly (at least every four hours).
Starting with the following: Suction Curettage, it is also known as a vacuum aspiration and is generally used during the first trimester. They say unless there are complications, this procedure is done in a physician’s office or a clinic. Usually this method will happen in 1-13 weeks of pregnancy. Next, would be Labor Induction: this procedure will generally require a hospital of one or more days. This method is used if the doctor determines that the age of the fetus is late in the second trimester.
