Answer:
The best answer from the choices, to the question: The cause of the hyperventilation is described by which of the following statement:___, would be, B: A decrease in the bicarbonate concentration stimulates ventilation.
Explanation:
The acid-base balance in the human body, is a very restrictive one. Normal ranges in this base are: 7.35 to 7.45. Whenever the values go either below 7.35 or above 7.45, we are talking about a person going into acidosis or alkalosis. Both situations are pretty serious and they have to do with the balance between the amounts of bicarbonate, and CO2 in the form of carbonic acid, in the blood. The normal ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid, is usually 20:1. Chemoreceptors, especially central ones in the neck, measure constantly that the balance is kept and if this is not the case, then several mechanisms will be put into place to recover it. One such measure is respiratory, and the other is metabolic. In the case of this 17-year-old, he has a pneumonia, which means that from the start, one of his recovery mechanisms is impeded, which is the respiratory mechanism of balance. He is also having metabolic problems with his system of compensation because his body is already producing high levels of H+ ions and not enough bicarbonate. Hyperventilation in this person is attempting to expel as much CO2 as possible, to try and restore the balance. The first thing that is sensed by the receptors is the changing in the 20:1 ratio, the increase in pH due to too much carbonic acid, and thus the body initiates the use of CO2 expulsion by the lungs, while metabolic mechanisms come into play.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is #2 since you don't need to know who made this and when. #2 is the answer because the important part is knowing what his name is and what grade so they know who it belongs to if it gets lost
A doctor could prescribe a restricted sodium diet
Answer: Option D. "Heme"
Explanation:
Deoxyhemoglobin can be defined as a form of which has no oxygen binded to the hemoglobin.
When deoxyhemoglobin is replaced with oxyhemoglobin then the oxygen binds to the heme component of the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells.
Each heme group has iron atom that has the ability to bind to oxygen (02) molecule.
Four oxygen molecules bind to a single hemoglobin protein.
Hence, the correct answer is option D "Heme".
Answer:
on a small child you wouldn't have to push as hard as an adult because of the size difference.
Explanation:
The heart of a child is smaller and of you make it beat faster or harder than it should it maybe over work itself.
Hope this helps!
