A marine biologist is preparing a deep-sea submersible for a dive. The sub stores breathing aid under high pressure in a spherical tank that measures 84.0cm wide. The biologist estimates she will need 3200. L of aid for the five. Calculate the pressure to which this volume of air must be compressed in order to fit into the air tank. Round your answer to 3 sig figs and write your answer in atmospheres.

- What is the RER of an individual with an oxygen consumption of 220 ml/min and a carbon dioxide production of 182.6 ml/min? Report your answer to 2 decimal points. QUESTION 29 What percent of the individual's oxygen consumption in the previous question is being used to combust carbohydrate for energy? Round your answer to the nearest whole number and answer with a number only as units are given in the question.arrow_forwardWhat would be the expired minute volume (VE) of someone who takes 2.5 breaths every 30 seconds and has a tidal volume (VT) of 0.2L? Show your work.arrow_forwardA spontaneously breathing patient has a normal PaCO2 of 40 mm Hg, a minute ventilation (VE) of 6 L/min, and a VD/VT ratio of 35% (0.35). Then the patient develops a pulmonary embolus (PE), blocking blood flow to a significant number of ventilated avleoli. Consequently, the measured VD/VT increases to 65% (0.65). 1. Calculate the alveolar ventilation associated with teh original PaCO2 of 40 mm Hg. 2. To maintain the same PaCO2 of 40 after the embolus occurs, what change must occur in total minute ventilation (VE)?arrow_forward
- Mary has a body mass of 64.5 kg and a predictied vital capacity of 4.8 L. A pulmonary function test at her doctors office revealed the following. TLC is 5.2 L TV is 0.5 L IRV is 1.5 L FEV1.0 is 2.4 L FVC is 3.4 L Question 1. What is Marys Expiratory reserve volume (in L) ? Answer should include 1 decimal point. Question 2: Marys results are consistent with a) obstructive pulmonary disorder b) restrictive pulmonary disorder c) normal ventilatory function d) both a and barrow_forwardA patient receiving control-mode continuous mandatory ventilation has the following ABGs on an FiO2 of 0.4: pH = 7.51; PCO2 = 30 mm Hg; HCO3– = 25 mm Hg. Her current minute ventilation (VE) is 7.9 L/min. What new VE would you recommend? 9.0 L/min 6.7 L/min 7.5 L/min 5.9 L/minarrow_forwardMark's maximal oxygen consumption on an exercise test is 55 ml/kg/min. What MET level did he acheive on his exercise test? Hint: When going from METS to ml/kg/min your multiply by 3.5 ml/kg/min. When going in the opposite direction, ml/kg/min to METS you divide by 3.5 ml/kg/min.arrow_forward
