- A patient was brought to the Emergency Department by ambulance with two arrow wounds. One arrow is still in the patient on the left side; entering anteriorly between the 7th and 8th ribs in a 15 degree angle, the arrow head protruding posteriorly. The second wound is located in the posterior cervical triangle. Question 1 What serosal cavities have been penetrated by the first arrow? Explain the location, the microscopic cellular components of the serous membrane, and the purpose of the serous membrane. Question 2 Describe the Autonomic Nervous System and explain how the patient's ANS reacts to the arrow attack and how it will affect the patient's vital signs (Pulse rate, BP, Respiratory rate, Temperature). Question 3 Describe the trajectory of the first arrow using directional terms and anatomical planes. Identify and describe the organs and any other membranes that may have been affected by the first arrow. Question 4 Describe the cardiovascular system and explain how both…arrow_forwardThe epithelium of the respiratory tract is mostly of the pseudostratified columnar ciliated type, but in the alveoli, the tiny sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the blood and inhaled air, the epithelium is simple squamous. Explain the functional significance of this histological difference. That is, why do the alveoli not have the same kind of epithelium as the rest of the respiratory tract? Explain your answer in 4 to 5 sentences. Indicate the reference/s of your answer.arrow_forwardMatch the type of epithelium with its location in the respiratory system and its function.arrow_forward

From the image of the respiratory tract below: (1) indicate with arrows where those four tissue types may be found and name them next to the arrows in that section of the tract. (2) Briefly describe the functions of the four tissue types. In your answer you must include a unique structural feature of each tissue type that allows it to perform this function.
