Question

For each of the following, complete the statement with the appropriate matching answer. (assume normal healthy adult human) A. Following deep breathing of room air, the partial pressure of oxygen in plasma will ____________. B. Following deep breathing of room air, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in plasma will ____________. - Following deep breathing of room air, respiratory drive will ____________. - Following deep breathing of room air, plasma oxygen content will ____________. - Following deep breathing in and out of a small paper bag, respiratory drive will ____________. - Following deep breathing in and out of a small paper bag, plasma carbon dioxide content will ____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Increase

B. Increase

C. Decrease

D. Remain fairly constant or change slightly

E. Increase

F. Increase

Explanation:

A. Following deep breathing of room air, the partial pressure of oxygen in plasma will increase because of higher concentrations of oxygen.

B. Following deep breathing of room air, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in plasma will decrease because because of higher concentrations of oxygen and increase in oxygen uptake by the lungs.

C. Following deep breathing of room air, respiratory drive will decrease of saturation of blood and tissue with oxygen.

D. Following deep breathing of room air, plasma oxygen content will remain fairly constant or change just slightly because the oxygen saturation levels will have been attained.

E. Following deep breathing in and out of a small paper bag, respiratory drive will increase because of the higher levels or increase in partial pressure of carbon dioxide

F. Following deep breathing in and out of a small paper bag, plasma carbon dioxide content will increase as carbon dioxide are produced from exhalation while oxygen is not being replenished.
