A 17-year-old male develops pneumonia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and metabolic acidosis. Respiratory compensation to a metabolic ac

idosis consists of hyperventilation to lower the arterial PC02. The cause of the hyperventilation is described by which of the following statement?
A. CO2 produced from the reaction of the acid with bicarbonate stimulates central chemoreceptors
B. A decrease in the bicarbonate concentration stimulates ventillation
C. H+ stimulates central chemoreceptors
D. H+ stimulates peripheral chemoreceptors

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.

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration, would net filtration
Serggg [28]

If the osmotic pressure in the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration, in this case, the net filtration would decrease.

<h3>What is glomerular filtration and where does it occur?</h3>

Urine is formed in the nephrons basically in two stages: glomerular filtration and renal reabsorption. It is in the glomerular capsule that occurs through extra glomerular filtration, which consists of bleeding from the blood plasma part of the renal glomerulus into the glomerular capsule. The extravasated liquid is called filtration.

In this case, we can see that the net filtration would decrease because the glomerular capillaries increased from 28 mmhg to 35 mmhg due to dehydration.

Put these events in the correct chronological sequence.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

1.  Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the motor end plate

2. Chemically-regulated ion channels open, causing depolarization

3  End plate potentials trigger action potential(s).

4. Transverse tubules convey potentials into the interior of the cell

5. Ca++ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

6. Ca++ binds to troponin, pulling on tropomyosin

7. Binding sites on actin are uncovered, allowing myosin to bind and carry out power strokes

8. Force increases.

9. Ca++ is pumped (re-sequestered) into the sarcoplasmic reticulum

10.  Force decreases.

Explanation:

The muscle contraction is a highly controlled mechanism which begins at the neuromuscular junction with the release of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter. This neurotransmitter causes the depolarization of the membrane by binding to the receptors of the motor end plate which generates an action potential. This action potential is transmitted via T-tubules from sarcolemma to the sarcoplasmic reticulum.  

The sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions which binds to the troponin protein. This troponin removes the protein tropomyosin from the actin causing the rotation of the tropomyosin exposing the binding sites for myosin. The myosin binds to the actin using energy from the ATP which pulls the actin causing contraction. Another ATP binds the myosin head which weakens the bond between myosin and actin which releases the myosin which decreases the force between them decreases and the muscles relax.

if a young teen is underweight, has iron deficiency, vitamin d deficiency and is at fear of having an eating disorder, what do y
finlep [7]

Answer:

I hope this helps :)

Explanation:

A doctor could do multiple things.

- The dctor could first prescribe the teen something to increase the Vitamin D deficiency.

- The doctor could also try to find out why the teen is not eating and try to fix it.

- The doctor could also have continuous check up's to make sure the teen is eating.

- The doctor could also have the teen go to a pyshiologst, so the teen can talk out his/her problems on why the teen is not eating and how they can fix it.
