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.
In North America, the demand for ampetamine (especially methamphetamine) has been stable
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Two directions, the ventricles. In and out of the heart
There are two possible causes of metabolic alkalosis such as ,firstly loss of stomach acids which is most common cause of metabolic alkalosis ,secondly reduced volume of blood in the arteries.
Metabolic alkaloiss is developed by body when it loses too much acid or gains too much base then excess vomiting which causes electrolyte loss, adrenal disease ,loss of potassium or sodium in a short amount of time.
Concomitant NH4+ losses in the diarrhea fluid may also contribute to development of metabolic alkalosis when hyperchloremic acidosis caused by the loss of too much sodium bicarbonate from the body which can happen with severe diarrhea.
