The correct answer is uncompensated respiratory acidosis.

This is a condition in which decreased ventilation (hypoventilation) increases the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood which causes the pH of blood and to decrease (becomes acidic. Acidosis occurs because restoration of normal acid-base balance is not possible or has not yet been achieved. Uncompensated acidosis is characterized by abnormal pH and abnormal values of PaCO2 or HCO3.

1. Suppose that you take your boat offshore for a day of deep-sea fishing. You drop anchor at a supposed ‘hot spot’ and you noti
Mashcka [7]

The swim bladder is more or less an oval, soft-walled pouch located in the abdominal cavity, just below the spinal column. Its shape varies greatly, but the volume is constant between species, most often around 5% of body.

<h3>Day of deep-sea fishing</h3>

1. The volume of your swim bladder when you put it back in the water would be 7.5 liters.

2. The time the fish would float on the surface before the oval could restore neutral buoyancy would be a few seconds.

3. If I were a red blood cell that has just delivered its oxygen to the tail musculature of a mako shark, the route through the circulatory system to eventually reach the mako's swim bladder would be the venous route, like other fish, they have a heart with two chambers, an atrium and a ventricle, and closed circulation.

With this information, we can conclude that the volume of her swim bladder when she was put back in the water would be 7.5 liters.
