What lung values changed (from those of the normal patient) in the spirogram when the patient with emphysema was selected?

2 answers:

4 0

The lung values that changed include the following: ERV < IRV < RV < FVC < FEV1%. Spirogram is used to measure pulmonary function test. It is a test that tests the efficiency of the lungs to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen gases. The vital capacity of the lung is equal to TV +IRV + ERV and the total capacity is equal to the summation of TV, IRV, ERV and RV.

When the patient with emphysema was selected lung values changed (from those of the normal patient) in the spirogram are:

ERV, IRV, RV, FVC, FEV1, FEV1 %

The reason behind the changes of these values are due to the loss or inability of electric recoil. A spirogram (graph like structure obtained by the respiratory movements) is measured by spirometer.

Answer:

It is the biological concept of species

Explanation:

In 1970 Mayr stated that "species are formed by groups of potentially intercrossing populations that are reproductively isolated from others". The biological concept of species puts emphasis on existence of barriers that limit the gene flow among groups within the same species

What cellular structures can be observed with the aid of light microscopy and electron microscopy?

Serjik [45]

With a light microscope one can view the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum, large vacuoles etc

The resolution of a light microscope is dependent on the wavelength of light that is the main beam of illumination. Light has approximately 0.4 um (UV)- 0.7um (Infrared) wavelength. Organelles smaller than about 0.5 um will be difficult to discern with a light microscope.

With an electron microscope one can view, in addition, even the ribosomes and mitochondria, chromosomes, tubules etc.

An electron microscope can discern very minute details of a cell. This is because its resolution is dependent on the very small wavelength of a beam of electrons which is approximately 0.002 um (about 10,000 times powerful than a light microscope)

What are 5 adaptations of the rubber tree in the Amazon rainforest

topjm [15]

1. The tree can grow to over 100 feet tall
2. Reproduction happens when the fruit of the tree ripen and burst open, leaving seeds scatteredin a 100 foot
3. The leaves of the Rubber Tree are glossy, oval shaped and dark green. They can grow to be 14 inches
4. It is a quickly growing tree, as are most trees in the (related to areas near the Equator/hot and humid) rainforest, it can grow 24 inches
5. The Rubber tree grows best in bright sunlight or filtered sun and although it is best suited for the wet and hot climate
