A patient has been ill for several days with a severe case of stomach flu. Due to the excessive vomiting and loss of H+ from his stomach, he now is breathing at a rate and depth that differs from normal. Predictthe breathing pattern you likely are seeing as the respiratory system tries to help with this problem. Explain your reasoning.

Given, that the patient was suffering from stomach flu and had excessive vomitings. Due to excessive…

please help me, I am using this to study but I do not know if my answer is correct.
Smoking damages two parts of the respiratory system: the airways known as the [1] and small air sacs called the [2]. [3] in your airway helps capture debris (dust, smoke, pathogens) in the air you breathe, then structures called [4] sweep the [5] and debris out of your lungs. Cigarette smoke irritates the lining of your airway, causing it to [6]; this makes the diameter of your airway [7] and slows the movement of air. Smoke also slows the movement of [8]. Is a "smoker's cough" due to damage of alveoli or bronchial tubes? [9] Is a long-term smoker's difficulty breathing due to damage of alveoli or bronchial tubes? [10] [11] is a lung disease caused by damage to the alveoli.
When someone breathes in they can completely exchange old air for new air. True or false.
For each of the following statements, please apply your knowledge regarding anatomy of the upper respiratory tract by indicating which of the following are TRUE: 42. Some people have a quiet voice because their vocal cords are thin and short compared to others (with a loud voice), and therefore less able to vibrate and create loud sounds. F 43. Children typically have higher pitched voices than adults because their vocal cords are physically shorter and thinner, and they have smaller sinuses within in the skull. T 44. Vocal and vestibular folds can adduct during an effort closure, facilitating an increase in thoracic pressure (i.e. during Valsalva maneuver) T
Choose one organ or structure of the Respiratory System and describe how the structure serves the function.
As a result of an auto accident, a fractured rib completely punctures the right chest wall of a 34-year-old male resulting in a right-sided pneumothorax. The alveoli in the right chest will collapse because of a/an :Decrease in intra-tracheal pressure, becoming more negativeIncrease in trans-chest wall pressure, becoming more negativeDecrease in intrapleural pressure , becoming less negativeIncrease in airway pressure, becoming more positive Increase in alveolar pressure, becoming more negative
The concentration of O2 in the medium when it first reaches the respiratory surface is ______. higher in a respiratory system using unidirectional flow than one using bidirectional flow higher in a respiratory system using bidirectional flow than one using unidirectional flow equal to that of the air or water surrounding the animal in both unidirectional flow and bidirectional flow
For each of the following structures, describe in detail how the structure allows for its function. A. Turbinates B. Larynx C. Trachea D. Bronchi E. Bronchioles F. Pleura G. Diaphragm H. Glottis I. Respiratory Surfaces (provide one example)
Scenario: A patient arrives in the emergency room after struggling to breathe and is subsequently diagnosed with asthma. In this disease state the patient's airways can significantly decrease in radius. They noted that they were exercising when the episode occurred. Question stem: Based on your knowledge of lung anatomy, which of the following regions contains smooth muscle that could contract and decrease airway radius? Answers A - D A Bronchioles В The Alveoli The pleura D Type I cells
The conducting zone in the respiratory system has the following function a. Movement of gases only b. Movement and exchange of gases c. Exchange of gases only d. Transport of gases to the tissues
