Summary Introduction

To determine: The diagram that shows an infant with patent ductus arteriosus.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why the majority of blood bypasses the lungs of the fetus.

Introduction: The blood in the pulmonary artery of the developing fetus bypasses the lungs and enters inside the aorta with the help of ductus arteriosus.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The circuit having the higher resistance if the systemic side is greater than the pulmonary side of the circulatory system.

Introduction: The fetal bypass channel closes during the first day after the childbirth but remains open in majority of the cases.

d.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The side of the heart that is required to generate a higher pressure for overcoming resistance if the flow in systemic and pulmonary circulations is equal.

Introduction: The ductus arteriosus usually closes during the first day after, but in some cases, surgery is required for closing this patent ductus arteriosus.

e.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The direction of flow of blood through patent ductus arteriosus.

Introduction: About 4,000 babies in the United States maintain an open ductus arteriosus. This patent ductus arteriosus require surgery in such patients.

You have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.
