Answer:

Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:

Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
pH: acidosis
PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
HCO₃⁻: normal

whose interpretation is: respiratory acidosis.

Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces hypoventilation, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.

Acidosis is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in pH below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.
Hypoxemia is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.
Hypercapnia is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.
Normal bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.

Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

What happens in interphase?

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

In interphase cell grow in size, DNA and protein synthesis takes place.

Explanation:

Interphase is the longest phase in the cell cycle and contain three sub phases and one checkpoint at the end of every checkpoint.

G₁ phase: In this phase the size of the cell increases and nearly becomes double, the raw material for DNA synthesis is synthesised e.g: mRNA and proteins(histone).

S phase: In synthesis phase replication of DNA takes place and amount of DNA become double so that it can be evenly distributed between daughter cells.

G₂ phase: In this phase cell continues to grow and synthesize proteins. cell prepare itself to move in mitotic phase so it can divide.
