Overview of Pulmonary Embolism An embolism is a foreign mass that travels through the intravascular space carried by the systemic circulation. The mass may be solid‚ liquid or gaseous. The circulation carries the embolus through vessels to parts of the body where it can cause obstruction or occlusion. The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) occurs when the embolism causes an obstruction or occlusion of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches‚ which in turn reverts pressure on the right ventricle. A solid

Jane Doe Bio Lab IT: Morgan Billick September 4th‚ 2010 Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption Results Oxygen Concentration Oxygen concentration in water can be altered by the conditions it is exposed to. For instance cold water has a higher oxygen concentration than warm water. In our experiment we were able to observe the change in oxygen concentration of water at two different temperatures (15C and 25C) with a fish in each environment. Our results proved that the starting oxygen concentration

The results from respiration rate and breaking point were then compared to the different sexes and further with those whom

Name of Pathology: Pulmonary Embolism Definition/Description/Characteristics: Before I get started explaining what a pulmonary embolism is‚ I am going to say that a pulmonary embolism is a part of group of problems all known as venous thromboembolism (VTE). Venous refers to veins‚ while thrombus is the blockage of blood vessel and when the blockage breaks off and travels‚ is called an embolism. A pulmonary embolism is usually a clot that was originally from a deep vein thrombosis in the legs or
