Chapter 22, Problem 4CCS

35-Year-Old Female with Chest Trauma

Barbara Joley was in a major car accident. When EMS managed to free her from the wreckage, she was cyanotic and apneic (not breathing). Her heart was still beating, but her pulse was fast and thready. The emergency medical technician reported that when Barbara was found, her head was cocked at a peculiar angle and it looked like she had a fracture at the level of the C2 vertebra. The following questions refer to these observations.

4.NCLEX-STYLE How do Barbara's recorded injuries relate to the pneumothorax?

a. The pain from her broken ribs is causing her to decrease breathing, so the right lung is not inflating.

b. Barbara’s fractured ribs probably punctured her lung tissue and allowed air within the lung to enter the pleural cavity.

c. When the level of O2 in the blood decreases, a negative feedback loop involving the central chemoreceptors causes lung inflation to decrease as well.

d. Her traumatic injury has caused her peripheral chemoreceptors to stop working, so they are not causing her to increase ventilation.

The metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.
