Blood PC02 may be measured by using direct spectrophotometer

Explanation:

Blood gas analysis or arterial blood gas (ABG) test is done to determine blood pH and the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in arterial blood.

Blood PCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide dissolved in the arterial blood.

ABG or oximetry test is done by using direct spectrophotometry in a spectrophotometer and gas analysis is done by calorimetric methods. Spectrophotmetry is highly used in Medicine to perform quantitative analysis of blood and its composition. The spectrophotometer measures the light intensity or wavelengths absorbed by the sample solution.

Blood PCO2 reflects the degree of exchange gases in and out of the lungs. An increase in PCO2 levels indicates respiratory illnesses like obstructive lung diseases or pulmonary edema; while a decrease indicates conditions like hypoxia, pulmonary embolism, hyperventilation etc.

How does a healthy person's body respond to sugar entering the blood?

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Blood sugar levels rise quickly

Explanation:

When high sugar, or low fiber, starchy foods are eaten in excess, blood sugar levels rise quickly, producing a strain on blood sugar control. The body responds to the rise in blood glucose levels after meals by secreting insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas (a small gland that resides at the base of the stomach).

Recommended daily allowance (RDA) is the nutritional requirement and uptake of the food. One has to eat 7 oranges each week so as to meet the requirement.

RDA is the recommended daily allowance that defines the level of the essential nutrients that a person consumes for a healthy lifestyle that is defined by Food and Nutrition so as to meet the required nutrient amount.

Given,

RDA of vitamin C = 60 mg/day

100 gm orange = 70 mg Vitamin C

So for one week, it is calculated as:

7 × 60 = 420 mg

The vitamin C in 100 gm oranges = 0.0007 and 1 oz = 28.3495 grams.

So, 3 oz = 3 × 28.3495 grams = 85048.5 mg

The amount of vitamin C in 85048.5 mg is calculated as:

0.0007 × 85048.5 = 59.53 mg

Number of oranges to be consumed each week = 420 ÷ 59.53 =7

Therefore, 7 oranges must be consumed in a week.

Patrick has shoulder impingement syndrome. He has been referred to you by a physical therapist for strengthening of his shoulder

Vitek1552 [10]

The available options are:

a) Push-up plus off a wall → shoulder IR/ER → seated DB press

b) Shoulder IR/ER → push-up plus → seated DB press

c) Shoulder IR/ER → seated DB press → push-up plus

d) High-rep bench press → shoulder IR/ER → abdominal crunch

Answer:

A. Push-up plus off a wall -> shoulder IR/ER -> seated DB press

Explanation:

A push-up plus off a wall is an example of a closed chain exercise as the arm is fixated to a stationary surface.

It also make your shoulder blades to move freely, making serratus anterior stronger, a vital muscle that keeps scapula stable and helps it rotate upward. This in turn reduces shoulder impingement when push-ups plus off a wall is done.

Shoulder IR/ER also helps to correct the imbalance in the rotator muscles of the shoulder.

Also, seated DB press strengthens all muscles of the shoulder in a functional way.
