Answer:

The Trachea

Explanation:

The oral cavity aids in the transport of air when may be obstruction in the nasal cavity.

The Rib cage aids in the movements of respiratory inspiration and expiration  through the intercostal muscles and other estructures.

The Diaphragm aids in the regulation of the respiratory movements and the input and output of air into the lungs.

The Trachea is actually a main passage of air to the bronchi and then to the lungs, so it is not an accessory structure, it is a main structure needed for the process of respiration.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:

  • Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
  • pH: acidosis
  • PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
  • HCO₃⁻: normal

whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.

Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.

  • <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
  • <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
  • <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
  • <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>

<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

Approximately _____ of adults in the United States are overweight, as defined by a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25.
Gnoma [55]

Approximately 74 percent of adults in the United States are overweight. BMI

is known as body mass index and it is calculated by

BMI= weight/height

BMI = kg/m²

Body mass index helps to determine if a person is overweight or

underweight. Being over weight means having a BMI of 25-29.9 while

having below 18.5 means being underweight.

Recent studies have however shown that approximately 74 percent of adults

have a BMI of greater than 25 which means they are overweight.

zalisa [80]

Flu is primarily treated with rest and fluid intake to allow the body to fight the infection on its own. Paracetamol may help cure the symptoms but NSAIDs should be avoided. An annual vaccine can help prevent the flu and limit its complications.
