The area is vulnerable because all of the visceral organs in the peritoneal cavity are not protected by the rib cage. The rib cage only protects the pleural half‚ which contains the heart‚ lungs. The kidneys‚ stomach‚ liver and other peritoneal visceral organs are unprotected by apparatus. The reason for this is that unlike the heart and lungs‚ the digestive track‚ particularly the stomach‚ can expand and

2. Experiment 2.1. Cold Plasma Jet System This research used a cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet system with an inclined style of treatment (gradient = 45o) as shown in Figure 1. This system was developed based on Teschke et al.32 Medical-grade argon gas (99.999% purity) produced by the Samator Company (Indonesia) was used as a carrier gas. Two aluminium foil ring electrodes were used around the quartz tube for this system. It had a quartz tube with a 1.5 mm inner diameter and a 2.7 mm outer

Discuss the movement (of substances) inside cells Substances can travel from inside the cell out and from outside of the cell inwards across a membrane. Movement of substances also occurs inside the cell and is part of many of the processes that occur inside cells in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells as well as animal and plant cells. The movement of substances may occur across a semi-permeable membrane such as the phospholipid bilayer membrane on the outside of a cell in the digestive

Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic disease that causes the kidneys to malfunction. The decrease in kidney function is rooted to cystic growths on the kidneys. The definition of cyst is an abnormal sac-like structure that is filled with fluid. Overtime this genetic disease can cause many cysts to appear at one time and can eventually enlarge the kidneys‚ along with deforming them. This deformation can grow into chronic kidney disease and lead to complete kidney failure. A genetic defect‚ or
