The term we usually apply to that situation is compound fracture.
Plants that have air-filled spaces in their tissues are likely to be?
Aquatic plants.
How does the nose stop bacteria gettting in your body?
The nasal cavity is filled with hairs, which help filter the atmospheric air as you inhale. After air passes through the nostrils it is pulled through the nasal concha, which are folds of tissues that secrete mucus (snot). The mucus also traps bacteria.
What take air into your body?
The lungs are the organ that takes air into the body. The air is taken in through the nose and the mouth.
What is the presence of blood in the chest cavity called?
blood: hemothorax air: pneumothorax
What air fills two organs to provide oxygen to the body tissues?
oxegen
How does the presence of air effect the rate at which a body falls?
It decreases the rate of increase of the velocity of the body.
Why is the nitrogen we breathe in not absorbed by the blood vessels?
The Nitrogen we breathe IS absorbed by the blood vessels (and all the body tissues). While the Nitrogen gas from the air is inert and does not play any part in body processes, Henry's gas laws require that some of the Nitrogen will be absorbed/dissolve in the blood (and body tissues). This becomes an issue for sub aqua divers where the presence of this dissolved nitrogen causes the "bends".
What is nitrogen's role in the human body?
Nitrogen is part of all amino acids, which make up proteins including those in DNA and RNA. It is the fourth most-common element by weight in the body. In respiration, the presence of nitrogen in the air inhibits oxidation of the lung tissues, where specialized cells extract the oxygen from the air (normally about 20% by volume).
Why do you need your circulatory system to keep tissues all over your body alive?
as this gives oxygen to your lungs as you need air to breathe!
Explain the relationship between the processes of breathing and respiration?
Breathing is the process of air moving in and out of the lungs. Respiration is the movement of oxygen from the air into cells within tissues of the body; along with the movement of carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body to the air outside the body.
What is air in the membrane of the face after tooth pulled?
That is a rare complication called "subcutaneous emphysema".
What changes air temperature?
Air temperature changes because of the body heat we give off into he earth. So if you give body heat the environment make colussem tissues underground and cause the weather to change. Your welcome...
What is the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity?
Pneumothorax-presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity.
Is the job of the circulatory system to bring fresh air to blood?
No. The circulatory system does transport various gasses around the body but the main gas the body needs is Oxygen (and not 'fresh air'). The blood transports breathed in Oxygen from the lungs into the tissues and organs and transports waste gasses such as carbon dioxide from the tissues and organs to the lungs to be expelled when breathing out. The circulatory system's job is transportation of the gasses to and from where they need to go in the body.
What is the medical term meaning fracture where the tissues of the body are torn and the bone is exposed to open air?
The term we usually apply to that situation is compound fracture.
What is body percussion?
body percussion is the judging the abdomen and thorax of human body in clinical examination for finding out whether there is fluid or air inside. As in case of pneumothorax the percussion sound is tympanic rather than normal resonance which suggests the presence of air inside the pleural cavity.
