A "first responder" (layperson, non-trained) is the first person who comes upon the scene of a medical emergency. A non-professional but trained person with First Aid or CPR experience can and should assume control when no professional person is on scene yet. Either the non-trained or trained layperson should call for 911 as soon as possible. When professionally trained medical persons arrive, the layperson usually should step aside unless medical professionals ask them to continue a task.
Often, 911 will dispatch the police along with an ambulance OR Fire and Rescue (OR both). The first professional on the scene is in control until medical or fire/rescue comes.
When multiple services arrive on a scene, the specialties split the duties along their area of expertise. Police assume traffic and crowd control. Fire and Rescue and the Fire Chief AND the police are in control of the medical emergency IF there is no paramedic service in the area. If there is a fire or threat (such as a gas leak), fire squads assume control over physical and structural damage control, and rescue from structures. Police assist in rescue also.
In areas with trained paramedics, the ambulance personnel assume medical support and life-saving measures. Police continue with crowd and traffic control. If there is no need for fire / rescue, they may decide to leave or stay. For example, in a multiple vehicle accident, police, paramedics, and fire/rescue work together so that the most critical patient goes to the hospital the quickest. Fire or Police might be tending to other patients until additional medical services arrive.
The beauty about this arrangement is that society has much more protection and help, since every professional has at least emergency first aid training. We've all heard of police officers who have delivered babies... pulled persons from burning cars... or saved lives in accidents. With 3 main services available in most communities, patients have a much higher chance of survival.
The nursing care supervisor is responsible for the entire hospital, even over the doctors.
Yes, but be safe. Make sure your horse is totally under control the entire time and have an emergency stop, whether its the one-rein stop or cavalry stop or any other emergency "brake" in case your horse spooks.

When using an emergency bandage, first ensure the wound is clean and apply direct pressure to control bleeding. Place the bandage over the wound, ensuring it covers the entire area, and secure it in place using the built-in closure or ties. If necessary, wrap the bandage tightly enough to maintain pressure but not so tight that it cuts off circulation. Monitor the injury for any signs of worsening conditions and seek medical attention if needed.

Smooth muscle tissue is responsible for contractions that account for the movement of organs in the entire body. This type of muscle tissue is involuntary, meaning it contracts without conscious control, and is found in the walls of hollow organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. Smooth muscle contractions help with processes like digestion, circulation, and breathing.

No, ribosomes do not control the entire cell; they are primarily responsible for protein synthesis. While they play a critical role in translating genetic information into proteins, cellular control is managed by various organelles and structures, including the nucleus, which houses genetic material, and the cell membrane, which regulates interactions with the environment. Overall cellular function and regulation involve complex interactions among multiple organelles and signaling pathways.
