Batteries and Fuel Cells

30.9K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

DC Battery01:21

DC Battery

A conductor needs to be a component of a path that creates a closed loop or full circuit to have a continuous current flowing through it. A current starts to flow if an electric field is created inside an isolated conductor that is not part of a full circuit. The conductor quickly develops a net positive charge at one end and a net negative charge at the other. These charges generate an electric field opposite the direction of the applied electric field, which reduces the current. Eventually,...

Predicting Reaction Outcomes

10.8K
Kinetics describes the rate and path by which a reaction occurs. In contrast, thermodynamics deals with state functions and describes the properties, behavior, and components of a system. It is not concerned with the path taken by the process and cannot address the rate at which a reaction occurs. Although it does provide information about what can happen during a reaction process, it does not describe the detailed steps of what appears on an atomic or a molecular level. On the other hand,...

Outcomes of Glycolysis01:13

Outcomes of Glycolysis

107.1K
Nearly all the energy used by cells comes from the bonds that make up complex organic compounds. These organic compounds are broken down into simpler molecules, such as glucose. As a result, cells extract energy from glucose over many chemical reactions—a process called cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration can occur aerobically (with oxygen) or anaerobically (without oxygen). In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration starts with glycolysis and continues with pyruvate...

Integration of Synaptic Events01:28

Integration of Synaptic Events

3.7K
Synaptic integration mainly includes the summation of graded potentials. Graded potentials, regardless of their type, cause subtle alterations in membrane voltage, resulting in either depolarization or hyperpolarization. These incremental changes, when combined or summed, can propel the neuron toward its threshold. Consider, for example, a membrane experiencing a +15 mV shift, causing it to depolarize from -70 mV to -55 mV. In this scenario, graded potentials govern the membrane's ability to...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Toxicology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a frequent occurrence in children under 5, often due to exploration.
  • While most ingested foreign bodies pass without issue, disc batteries present a unique and severe hazard.
  • Disc battery ingestion is associated with serious complications, including potentially fatal outcomes.

Observation:

  • This report details two pediatric cases of disc battery ingestion.
  • The study focuses on the clinical presentation and outcomes of these specific ingestions.

Findings:

  • Disc battery ingestion can lead to severe gastrointestinal injury.
  • Outcomes can range from significant morbidity to mortality, underscoring the critical nature of these events.

Implications:

  • Prompt recognition and management of disc battery ingestion are crucial in pediatric emergency care.
  • Awareness among healthcare providers and parents about the specific dangers of disc batteries is vital.
  • This underscores the need for targeted prevention strategies and rapid intervention protocols for pediatric disc battery ingestions.
