(a)
To predict: The consequences of breathing for condition if a spinal cord injury is at C2 or above.
Concept introduction: The respiratory system is the biological system that consists of specific organs and structures used for the gas exchange in animals. Gas exchange is the transport of respiratory gases between the blood and alveoli or cells of systemic tissues. During breathing, gases in air move down collectively of its pressure gradient, whereas during gas exchange each gas moves down independently following its own partial pressure.
(b)
To predict: The consequences to breathing for condition if the spinal cord injury is between C6 and T11.
Concept introduction: The respiratory system is the biological system that consists of specific organs and structures used for the gas exchange in animals. Gas exchange is the transport of respiratory gases between blood and either alveoli or cells of systemic tissues. During breathing, gases in air move down collectively of its pressure gradient, whereas during gas exchange each gas moves down independently following its own partial pressure.
