You have seen how breathing patterns can affect blood CO2 and blood pH to cause respiratory acidosis or respiratory alkalosis. Factors other than breating patterns can cause changes in blood pH. When blood pH gets out of line due to a non-respiratory problem it is referred to metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis. In this case the respiratory system is called upon to try to fix the problem by adjusting breathing patterns accordingly. Use this information as you consider the next two questions. A patient comes to the emergency room having overdosed on aspirin (acetlysalicylic acid) and is in metabolic acidosis. The patient is breathing a a rate and depth of breathing that differs from normal. Predict the breathing pattern you likely would see in this patient as her respiratory system tries to help with the problem. Explain your reasoning.

Answer ALL parts of the question Over the last 6 months Mrs Jantyri has been having abdominal pains upon taking aspirin on an empty stomach for a leg pain she sustained upon falling down the stairs. She also told the doctor that she had episodes of coughing and wheezing upon taking the aspirin, but said the symptoms resolved upon taking salbutamol for her asthma. a) Describe the processes that caused the symptoms of coughing and wheezing in Mrs Jantyri upon taking aspirin. Upon further questioning, Mrs Jantyri told the doctor that on the days she took the aspirin, she noticed some black, tarry blood and some specks of blood in her stool. She asked the doctor if she had bowel cancer. b) Briefly describe the process of acid secretion in the stomach and the modulatory effects of prostanoids in acid secretion. c) How does inhibition of this pathway lead to bleeding?
When someone is on a ventilator, there is always a danger of hyper- or hypoventilating the patient, thus respiratory therapists closely monitor exhaled Pco2 and arterial pH. If arterial pH of a patient on a ventilator is elevated (alkalosis), how should the respiratory therapist adjust the ventilator. Increase forced vital capacity Decrease alveolar ventilation Decrease expiratory reserve volume
A patient with severe anemia due to blood loss is in the clinic. Although she has lost blood, her respiratory rate remains normal. How would blood loss affect her PaO2 levels? Decreased PaO2 O No change in PaO2 O Increased PaO2
Hello, May I get help on this question very soon please? I do not understand it. Question: You're talking to one of your grandparents on the phone, and they are telling you about some really neat things they just learned about the lungs on a documentary. Specifically, they are telling you about this really cool feedback loop where lower in CO2 in the blood in near skeletal muscles than usual to leads your brain to trigger a whole bunch of responses in how you breathe. They mention about how your medulla tells your systemic arterioles to constrict, for your external intercostals to contract less, and your lung muscles to contract less. You tell them how much you love to hear that they are learning about the respiratory system, but you gently note that the documentary must have got one thing wrong. The documentary was incorrect because (see image)
Keep in mind the chemical reaction: CO2 + H20 H2CO3 H* + HCO3 A patient on a mechanical respirator often suffers from alkalosis because a. excess of oxygen favors reaction to the left side hyperventilation leads to removal of excess of CO2 b. Oc. hyperventilation leads to removal of excess of H* ion along with CO2 as both have increased. Both (b) and (c) are correct. Od.
Mountain climbers often use the expression “thin air” to describe atmospheric conditions at high elevation. For example Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air is about a deadly climbing expedition to Mount Everest. What does it mean to say the air gets “thinner” as you climb upward? Explain the reason why the air gets “thinner” with increasing altitude. Briefly explain why it becomes difficult to breathe in “thin” air. Your answer should include something about the human physiology of breathing and why it is more difficult when the air is "thinner."
When a patient’s blood is taken to determine her arterial oxygen content, the blood is immediately put on ice. Explain why this is necessary and describe how the results could be flawed if the blood is not put on ice. Your answer should relate directly to the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve!

Several tablespoons of Vitamin C are placed in an empty bottle containing only air. The botle is then securely closed with an air-tight lid or cap. If the air contains 18.9 % oxygen by volume and the volume of the air in the bottle is 2.5 litres, how much Vitamin C will be consumed? Express your answer to the nearest milligram of Vitamin C (no decimal places and no decimal point) and do not include any units in your resonse. Note: The actual amount of Vitamin C placed in the bottle at the start is not important here. It just shows that there is an excess of Vitamin C present. The volume of the Vitamin C has no effect on the volume of the air in the bottle. We will also assume that the reaction proceeds until all the oxygen in the air is consumed.
