Select the phrase that best describes po2 at the arterial ends of the pulmonary capillaries. the po2 is higher at first in the c

apillaries than in the alveoli, and then it is lower in the alveoli than in the capillaries. the po2 is lower at first in the capillaries than in the alveoli, and then it is higher in the alveoli than in the capillaries. the po2 is lower in the capillaries than in the alveoli. the po2 is higher in the capillaries than in the alveoli. the po2 is equal in the capillaries and in the alveoli.

The arterial end is the part where the blood enters from the capillaries into the alveolus. The PO2 at the arterial end has a lower concentration of oxygen that is the PO2 is 40 and once this blood enters the alveolus the oxygen from the air in the alveoli dissolved in the blood hence increasing the PO2 of the air. The PO2 of the air remains the same until it reaches the body part where the oxygen is again consumed. Hence the option PO2 in the capillaries is lower than the PO2 in the alveoli is the right option

Electrolyte imbalance can affect the normal function of the brain. Sodium is an important electrolyte maintains homeostasis in the body. Its primary function is to regulate water retention. Low sodium usually decreases serum osmolality. This combination of deficiencies is called Hypotonic hyponatremia.

A sudden drop in sodium and plasma osmolality can cause seizures. Brain function is affected because the water in the body, because start to flow from the extracellular spaces into the intercellular spaces. This causes the brain cells to swell and thus affecting its normal function. 

Therapy for this type is IV therapy, particularly hypertonic saline to replace the sodium in the body and normalize plasma osmolality and diuretics are given to aid in water excretion. Therapy should be done slowly and should be closely monitored. More swelling can developed when it is done too quickly.
