This is the term for the line that seperates the left and right sides of the body
What is the midline
The system that contains arteries, veins, blood, and the heart
What is the cardiovascular system
This airway adjunct is placed in the mouth to secure a patent airway and is measured from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the jaw or tip or ear.
What is an oralpharangyeal airway (OPA)
