Editor's Notes
- A nurse combines science and technology with people skills like communication, problem solving, teaching, and compassion.
- Nurses touch people’s lives at a time when they need help. Nursing is one of the most respected professions in the United States.
- Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. Caring for the sick is only one aspect of what a nurse does.
- Nurses have the opportunity to do "good" in the world everyday. Many exciting and rewarding opportunities exist in nursing.
- Some places we automatically expect a nurse to be, like doctor’s offices, hospitals, schools….
- But nurses also work in other places that you may not expect
- And the list can go on and on
- Nurses need to know all about the human body. We take classes to learn about the body and disease. From what I hear, you have been learning about the different body systems this semester.
- Let’s see what you know!
- Do you recognize that bone? It’s also the longest
- malleus, or hammer, the incus, or anvil, and the stapes, or stirrup Together they form a short chain that crosses the middle ear and transmits vibrations caused by sound waves from the eardrum membrane to the liquid of the inner ear.
- cardiac, smooth and skeletal.
- Cardiac muscle makes up the wall of the heart and is responsible for the forceful contraction of the heart. Smooth muscles make up the walls of the intestine, the uterus, blood vessels, and internal muscles of the eye. Skeletal muscles are attached to the bones and in some areas the skin (muscles in our face). Contraction of the skeletal muscles helps limbs and other body parts move.
- An average heartbeat is 72 beats per minute. Therefore an average heart pumps 1.3 gallons (5 Liters) per minute. In other words it pumps1,900 gallons (7,200 Liters) per day, almost 700,000 gallons (2,628,000 Liters) per year, or 48 million gallons (184,086,000 liters) by the time someone is 70 years old.
- Hint: each one of these have another 100 trillion atoms
- The human body has about 200 types of cells. You have red blood cells and brain cells. You even have special cells for making tears and special cells for making earwax.
- Hint: You don’t want to get them
- Hint: it’s been in the news a whole lot lately
- The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue. The skin’s color is created by special cells called melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin. Melanocytes are located in the epidermis.
- Normal pulse can range from 50-100 beats per minute.
