Dendritic cells - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

One of the most important advances in surgery arrived near the end of the nineteenth century. The British surgeon Joseph Lister hypothesized that using techniques to sterilize surgical tools and clean the skin at the site of the incision would reduce surgical site infections. Years later, Dr. Lister wrote this: "Nothing was formerly more striking in surgical experience than the difference in the behavior of injuries according to whether the skin was implicated or not. Thus, if the bones of the...

WGU pathophysiology D236-Exam Questions and Answers 2022/2023 What is Starling's Law of Capillary forces? How does this explain why a nutritionally deficient child would have edema? - ANSWER Starling's Law describes how fluids move across the capillary membrane. There are two major opposing forces that act to balance each other, hydrostatic pressure (pushing water out of the capillaries) and osmotic pressure (including oncontic pressure, which pushes fluid into the capillaries). Bot...
