How do you trace the route of air from the external nares to an aveolus?

During breathing air enters the nose by passing through the external nares( nostrils)=> pharynx=>larynx=> trachea=> The trachea (windpipe) divides into two main bronchi (also mainstem bronchi), the left main bronchus and right main bronchus. The right main bronchus subdivides into three lobar bronchi while the left main bronchus divides into two. The lobar bronchi divide into => tertiary bronchi, also known as segmental bronchi, each of which supplies a => bronchopulmonary segment. A bronchopulmonary segment is a division of a lung that is separated from the rest of the lung by a connective tissue septum.. There are ten segments per lung, but due to anatomic development, several segmental bronchi in the left lung fuse, giving rise to eight. The segmental bronchi divide into many => primary bronchioles which divide into =>terminal bronchioles, each of which then gives rise to several => respiratory bronchioles, which go on to divide into 2 to 11 => alveolar ducts. There are 5 or 6 =>alveolar sacs associated with each alveolar duct. The alveolus is the basic anatomical unit of gas exchange in the lung.

How do you get rid of a burn on your hand?

The best treatment for a burn is to rinse gently in cool water and apply an antiseptic ointment with pain reliever, such as Neosporin. Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and see a doctor if the pain is bad enough that these things don't work.

How would you treat a broken leg if you were on the Oregon Trail?

they used egg white because that was the only thing they had at that time . But it

seemed to work
# Wash it in cold water # cover it in honey and egg whites or aloe # continually wash it and soak it in egg whites More info:People also (mistakenly) believed putting butter on a burn was a good treatment for burns. But, the butter actually made the burn worse by holding in the heat. This treatment was still being used well into the 20th century, even up until the 1960's or 1970's, more frequently by the elderly; that was the treatment they had grown up using, and being treated with. Today, however, it is common knowldege to never put butter, or any other greasy substance, on a burn, but to hold the burn under cold (not ice) water for a few minutes. The exception to this, though, is if it is a serious burn to get medical attention immediately.
To Treat a burn you would:

# wash it off in cold water # cover the burn in egg whites and honey (or aloe if available)

# continually wash the burn in egg whites

How do you treat a coral snake bite?

The coral has a pair of small, fixed, hollow fangs in the upper jaw through which the snake injects venom via a chewing motion. Unlike pit vipers, such as rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths, which strike quickly, coral snakes must hang on for a short period to inject a significant amount in humans. Coral snake venom has significant neurotoxicity, inducing neuromuscular dysfunction. Their venom tends to be one of the most potent foughjfviyhkund in snakes, but the amount of venom they inject is less than that of most vipers or pit vipers. Because of the small fangs they have, as many as 60% of those bitten by North American coral snakes are not poisoned. Treatment however, must be obtained immediately because of the potency of the venom. The old method of "cut and suck" should not be performed at the risk of the venomous extract could conceivably be induced into the person performing the action. (This also applies to any snake bite, and as such, has been removed from most first aid instructions) It would be safe to assume that by virtue of the snake's small mouth structure and small fangs that the bite's location would be on a phalange (fingers ore toes) or hand or foot. The same procedure used for any other sn i love uake bite would apply in this case as well. Apply a tourniquet above the site of the bite and during transit to a hospital or doctor, periodically release the tourniquet to restore blood flow to the affected limb and then reapply. Observe and treat for shock, and insure the affected limb is held in a position (height) above the heart.

How do you heal a hamstring pull?

Firstly rest it.

It will take on average 3 weeks t be back in normal sporting activity. When first pulled or torn. Ice packs placed on the area then replaced with a warm pack (not hot). warm massage - This will be a liitle uncomforatble in the early days of the injury. - When the pain eases following the massage period start doing very light stretching routines. There will be iscomfort doing this until the muscle continues the healing process, still use hot/cold packs to help the recovery process. When the muscle feels comfortable start increasing the stretches, this can include moving up and down steps (this is where the pain will be noted as well as bending)

Can lifting heavy objects cause liver injury?

Weightlifting, like many sports played at a high level, causes specific adaptation of the body and this adaptation enables the athlete's performance to improve. If you undertake endurance training on a regular basis, your endurance improves. If you undertake training in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, your power, strength and athleticism improves. In any sport training, the organs of the body respond to training and improve their functioning. There is no evidence that the liver in Weightlifters is caused damage as a result of proper training. However, there could be damage to the liver if an athlete takes performance enhancing drugs. This is not permitted in sport but unfortunately people do. All drugs taken in excess can damage the liver including paracetemol which millions of people take everyday.

When can you play basketball again after a jammed finger?

This depends on how badly you have jammed it. Usually if you can still get movement out of you finger you caan immediately return to your sport but you may want to tape it or get a splint. If you can't get any movement out of your finger I suggest going and getting X-rays because it may be fractured or even broken. Hope this helps! :)

What to do if knee is bruised and pussing?

First treat the infection: Wash with warm, soapy water, gently but firmly washing away any dead skin or flesh, until the pus is cleared away. Rinse with fresh water, and apply an antiseptic (I like betadyne). Dress the wound and wrap in such a way as to limit mobility so the wound isn't stressed and re-opens. Next for the bruise, consider ice-packing, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, over the dressing, being careful to keep the dressing dry and clean. Repeat for 80 minutes at least. Consider one of the over the counter painkiller/anti-inflamatories like Ibuprofin or Aspirin. If you do, take according to the instructions on the box. Change the dressing daily, or when you see blood or pus soaking through. Re-clean the wound as needed. If the patient's temperature rises about 101.5F, or you see red lines extending out from the wound, head for a doctor.

What are the first drugs used to revive patients in an emergency?

In a first aid context, the modern thinking is that you usually don't want to revive a victim you discover that's unconscious unless you know why they're unconscious. You don't really know why they're unconscious, and many (including me) feel that unconsciousness is a protection for the victim in some cases. Gently shaking the victim (if I assume no spinal injury) and calling to them is about as far as I want to go, just to see if they'll revive on their own. If you know why they're unconscious, and you DO want to revive them, smelling salts (ammonium carbonate) works really well. Break the ampule and wave it briefly under their nose -- don't leave it there. If it doesn't work quickly, stop. Here are some unconscious victim ideas and concepts: * Do check for massive bleeding and control it. * Do check for vital signs. If they need CPR, do that before all else. * DONT slap them (doesn't this even Sound dumb?) * Don't give them something to drink -- unconscious people don't do that well. * Don't get them a pillow * Do consider turning their head to the side so, if they vomit, they don't aspirate it (don't do this if you suspect serious neck or back injuries). * Don't leave them alone. The use of drugs to revive unconscious patients, other than what I've covered here, is beyond the role of First Aid.

How old is an adult in first aid?

In terms of providing first aid to an ''adult'', it is usually made on a subjective judgment of the casualty's size rather than age. A child is usually classed as up until puberty and an adult may be classed as after that.

For example in CPR, 'child' CPR should be followed for children up until age 12 (approx) but 'adult' CPR can safely be administered to casualties above this age. It is usually made on judgment and there is no definite age limit.
