Name _________________. Overview. In this activity, you will study the effects of gravity on the planets of the Solar System. First, you need to view movies from the lunar Apollo missions, then calculate your weight on other planets. Finally, you will propose your weight on newly discovered planets around other stars.
A tracheostomy is an opening cut into the windpipe, or trachea. It is used as an airway for breathing. After the opening is made, a small tube is inserted to let air in, and to attach a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) if needed.
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to cut an opening into the trachea (windpipe) so that a tube can be inserted into the opening to assist breathing. A tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent, depending on the reason for its use. For example, if the tracheostomy tube is inserted to bypass a trachea that is blocked by blood or swelling, it will be removed once regular breathing is once again possible.
