A depressed person attempts to commit suicide by taking a whole bottle of sleeping pills. The pills cause a drastic decrease in the pH. The patient starts having breathing difficulties because the thick and thin filaments within the respiratory muscles are breaking down. Explain in depth the correlation between the person’s pH and why their respiratory muscles are breaking down.

In response to the psycological stress of taking Human Physiology exam, the student next to you begins to hyperventilate and soon starts to show dizziness. Someone gives the student a paper bag to breathe into. Explain the change in the blood oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH expected in the affected student. Then explain the rationale behind the paper bag 'treatment'.

A patient is hyperventilating (breathing very quickly). Consider the consequences of this action on the carbon dioxide level in the blood. What can occur? respiratory alkalosis metabolic acidosis metabolic alkalosis respiratory acidosis
When resting in a car at Rest and Relax area (R&R), it is not advisable to turn on car engine and air conditioning with the window closed because it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Explain briefly why carbon monoxide poisoning is dangerous to human body.
You have seen how breathing patterns can affect blood CO2 and blood pH to cause respiratory acidosis or respiratory alkalosis. Factors other than breating patterns can cause changes in blood pH. When blood pH gets out of line due to a non-respiratory problem it is referred to metabolic acidosis or metabolic alkalosis. In this case the respiratory system is called upon to try to fix the problem by adjusting breathing patterns accordingly. Use this information as you consider the next two questions. A patient comes to the emergency room having overdosed on aspirin (acetlysalicylic acid) and is in metabolic acidosis. The patient is breathing a a rate and depth of breathing that differs from normal. Predict the breathing pattern you likely would see in this patient as her respiratory system tries to help with the problem. Explain your reasoning.
To demonstrate an understanding of oxyhemoglobin binding, insert a word from the list in each blank to complete the statements. Not all terms will be used. increased A right shift of the oxy-hemoglobin curve signifies a affinity for oxygen. hold acidic A temperature will cause a right shift of the oxy- hemoglobin curve. basic A more pH than normal blood pH will cause a right shift higher of the oxy-hemoglobin curve. As a person exercises, their muscles give off heat which raises the temperature of the blood. This will cause hemoglobin to more oxygen at the cells. lower release decreased
A soccer coach is seeking your advice about using a tank of oxygen on the sidelines so players might breathe from it during time outs or when they come off the field. Provide 3 mechanisms to explain/justify your answer to the coach. Consider the following in your answer. 98% O2 Hb saturation is achieved with each breath. The other way for oxygen to be carried to muscle would be dissolved in blood. This is minimal and still doesn’t affect Hb saturation Pulmonary ventilation is not considered to limit aerobic capacity A higher breathing rate actually helps to eliminate CO2 and therefore raise pH CO2 transport in blood also involves buffering H+ forming bicarbonate HCO3. On exhalation the H disassociates and forms water – again helping to maintain pH
When the blood passes through the lungs, CO₂ is expelled and the hemoglobin picks up oxygen. Place the following steps in the correct order (1 = first thing to happen), assuming that it is the decreased [CO₂] during exhalation that initiates the transition. Carbonic anhydrase works to restore the CO₂/bicarbonate equilibrium, reducing the [H+] The T-state is less stabilized. Oxygen binds to the hemoglobin. Protons dissociate from the hemoglobin.
