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

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.

- The Respiratory System and Urinary System work hand-in-hand to maintain blood pH. Depending upon the cause, each system will utilize mechanisms to increase or decrease pH levels. Sometimes, one system works sufficiently to alleviate the acidosis or alkalosis. At other times, both systems will work together to bring pH levels within normal range. Compensation is the term used to describe how one system assists the other in normalizing blood plasma pH. Respiratory compensation works quickly, using brainstem respiratory centers to eliminate or retain CO2 levels in the blood and works more quickly. Renal compensation takes more time, changes HCO3- levels and generally has a greater ability to restore normal pH values. Based on the information given for each of the cases below, indicate whether there is an alkalosis or acidosis present. Assume that appropriate time has lapsed to cause the lab results listed. 1. For each case, indicate whether the cause is…arrow_forwardTo demonstrate an understanding of oxyhemoglobin binding, insert a word from the list in each blank to complete the statements. Not all terms will be used. increased A right shift of the oxy-hemoglobin curve signifies a affinity for oxygen. hold acidic A temperature will cause a right shift of the oxy- hemoglobin curve. basic A more pH than normal blood pH will cause a right shift higher of the oxy-hemoglobin curve. As a person exercises, their muscles give off heat which raises the temperature of the blood. This will cause hemoglobin to more oxygen at the cells. lower release decreasedarrow_forwardCreate a labeled diagram explaining how CO2 moves from cells of the working tissue as HCO3 - in the blood (do not include other ways CO2 moves through the blood). Be sure to include the carbonic anhydrase inside red blood cells and the HCO3 - /Cl- exchanger in your diagram. Write an explanation for your diagram.arrow_forward
- using the table below as a reference, explain what is the main root cause difference between a respiratory acidosis condition and a metabolic acidosis condition. please be detailed with your explanationarrow_forwardThe following questions apply to this information:A man licks a newt after being dared to do so by his boyfriend. Almost immediately, the man noticed that his lips and tongue felt numb. Within a few minutes, the man began to show a lack of coordination and skeletal muscle control. Within several more minutes, the man experienced difficulty breathing and symptoms of cardiac arrest. Eventually, the man dies. The newt's skin has tetrodotoxin in it. Tetrodotoxin is produced by rough-skinned newts as a form of defense against predation. Tetrodotoxin specifically blocks the sodium pore in voltage-gated sodium channels. It does not affect the gates of a voltage-gated sodium channel. The toxin has no other effects.We will use one bipolar neuron to answer the following questions. This neuron has a resting membrane potential of -65mV. 1) true/false While under the effect of tetrodotoxin, the man's neurons would be able to reach threshold potential at their initial segments. 2) true/false The…arrow_forwardAnswer the question down below to the following scenerioarrow_forward
- respiratory failure refers to inadequate ventilation to provide oxygen to the tissues . How would the pH change in the respiratory failure ?arrow_forwardH7arrow_forwardYou 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_forward
- using the table below, explain based on the bloodwork result, which clinical condition the patient would most likely have: metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, or respiratory alkalosis.

Place the following steps in the correct order (1 = first thing to happen), assuming that it is the decreased [CO₂] during exhalation that initiates the transition.
