During a severe bout of pneumonia, Eduardo had difficulties breathing. His PaCO2 was elevated and he became acidotic. Describe how CO2 travels from the tissues to the lungs to be expelled from the body. In doing so, describe the various forms that CO2 takes along the way. Finally, describe how CO2 levels affect blood pH.
blood ph varies between 7.35 and 7.45, with a target value of 7.4. if someone's blood ph begins to decrease, chemoreceptors detect this change and send the information to the brain the brain analyzes the input and sends out a command to the respiratory muscles causing breathing rate to increases, which reduces carbon dioxide levels and thereby increases the ph of ther blood. name the body part, values, or actions in this specific scenario involving ph Normal range  Set point  Stimulus Sensor  integrsting center  Effector  Response
Individuals with cystic fibrosis produce thick mucus in the lungs, resulting in a higher-than-normal level of CO2 in the blood. What is the problem that results from higher-than-normal levels of COz in the blood? Please relate this to buffers in the blood and construct a clear problem statement.
