A 17-year-old student has experienced reversible, periodic attacks of chest tightness with coughing, wheezing, and hyperpnea. Sh

e states that expiration is more difficult than inspiration. She is most comfortable sitting forward with arms leaning on some support. X-rays revealed mild overinflation of the chest. Results from laboratory and pulmonary function tests are as follows:
Frequency 20 breaths/min
Vital capacity (VC) 2.9 L
FEV1.0 1.4 L
FEV1.0/FVC 56%
Functional residual capacity (FRC) 3.89 L
Total lung capacity (TLC) 6.82 L
PaO2 70 mm Hg
PaCO2 26 mm Hg
Pulse 108 b/min
BP 120/76 mm Hg
Intermittent use of a bronchial smooth muscle dilator (1:1000 epinephrine by nebulizer) for several days caused marked improvement, resulting in the following laboratory and pulmonary function tests:

VC 4.15 L
FEV1.0 3.1 L
FEV1.0/FVC >75%
FRC 3.7 L
TLC 5.96L
PaO2 89 mm Hg
PaCO2 38 mm Hg
Pulse 129 b/min
BP 122/78 mm Hg


Pick 3 Questions to Discuss!

1. What is the disorder of this 17-year-old student?

2. Is this primarily a restrictive or an obstructive disorder? Why?

3. Why is expiration more difficult than inspiration in this person?

Leni [432]

Answer:

The Question is incomplete. Here should be the complete question.

Based on what you have learned about how cells ensure that proteins end up in the right place (Chapter 7), what type of signal would you expect to be exposed on a cytosolic receptor after a steroid hormone changes the receptor's conformation?

Amino acids required for transport through the nuclear pore complex

Initiating an action potential

Under most circumstances, once an axon's membrane potential reaches threshold (about -55 mV in mammals), an action potential is automatically triggered. The graph below shows the changes in membrane potential that occur in an axon membrane that is initially at resting potential.

In response to a stimulus, the membrane slowly depolarizes until the membrane potential reaches a particular value, called threshold. At threshold, a rapid depolarization of the membrane occurs and an action potential is initiated.

Drag the labels onto the flowchart to show the sequence of events that occurs once

the membrane potential

-1. membrane potential reaches threshold

-2. Na+ ions rush into the cell

-3. membrane potential rises (depolarizes) rapidly

-4. many Na+ voltage-gated channels open

The ANSWER WILL SURELY BE

membrane potential reaches threshold ---> many Na+ voltage-gated channels open ---> Na+ ions rush into the cell ---> membrane potential rises (depolarizes) rapidly

(1--->4--->2--->3)
