Chapter 23, Problem 5AYKB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind increased respiratory rate while exercising, and the changes in the pH of blood, if respiratory rate is not increased.
Introduction:
Vital signs can be defined as the measurements of most basic functions of the human body. These signs are preliminary tests for diagnosis of any disease and reflect the health conditions of an individual. One of the vital signs is respiratory rate. Respiration rate measures the count of number of breaths taken by an individual in one minute, hence, depicting the state of lungs.

Some patients with severe emphysema have constant high levels of carbon dioxide because of inadequate
ventilation. The central nervous system breathing center in these patients becomes insensitive to carbon dioxide and
more dependent on the level of oxygen, which is low. These patients are said to have “oxygen-dependent respiratory
drive". What might happen if you give such a person high levels of supplemental oxygen?

In response to the psycological stress of taking Human Physiology exam, the student next to you begins to hyperventilate and soon starts to show dizziness. Someone gives the student a paper bag to breathe into. Explain the change in the blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH expected in the affected student. Then explain the rationale behind the paper bag 'treatment'.
Coach Damien notices that some of his football players drink more water than others before Friday night games. He is interested if the amount of water the students drink affects their endurance. One week before practice he has each student drink a bottle of water throughout the day. That afternoon, they run the bleachers and he records how many times each player can go up and back before stopping to catch their breath. The next week they do the same thing but drink 2 bottles of water beforehand. The third week they run the bleachers but drink a gallon of water beforehand.

- 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.arrow_forwardThe effect of purposeful hyperventiliation just prior to diving and swimming under water is that: Group of answer choices decreased PCO2 will depress breathing centers increased PO2 will cause bubbles to form in the blood water pressure will increase water in the lungs PO2 will increase to lethal levels pH buffers in the blood will stop functioningarrow_forwardWhich statement about the regulation of respiration is FALSE? Group of answer choices Respiratory centers in the medulla control the transition from inspiration to expiration. Carbon dioxide concentration is the most important chemical stimulus for regulating respiratory rate. Chemoreceptors in the walls of various arteries are sensitive to carbon dioxide levels in the blood. A group of neurons in the ventral medulla only become active when we need to breathe forcefully. Chemoreceptors may be sensitive to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and/or hydrogen ion concentration.arrow_forward

Gas exchange between the lung and blood takes place in the alveolus.arrow_forwardThe movement of air out of the lungs during normal expiration is a result of? Air moves out of the lungs due to the relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Air moves out of the lungs due to the passive elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs.
