Chapter 15, Problem 36RQ
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The cardiac output if the oxygen content of blood in aorta is 200 mLO2/L, the oxygen content of blood in the pulmonary artery is 160 mLO2/L, and the total body oxygen consumption is 250 mL/min.
Introduction: Cardiac output is the product of heart rate and stroke volume. It is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute.

Let's assume that this decrease in pressure is a linear function of length (x) and can be described by the following equation: pressure Pc(x) = (43 – 28x) mmHg We can assume that the other hydrostatic and osmotic pressures do not change along the length of the capillary. Specifically, oncotic pressure in the capillary is 28 mmHg. In the interstitial fluid surrounding our capillaries, hydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid surrounding the capillaries is about –2.0 mmHg, and osmotic pressure of about 1.0 mmHg. At what length value of x does flow switch from going out of the capillaries into the surrounding tissue to into the capillaries from the surrounding tissue? Don't worry about the units of x. We can think of x as a fraction representing how far down the capillary we are relative to total length. For example, x of 0.5 would be halfway down the…arrow_forward
- When the drug theophylline is administered for asthma, a concentration below 5 mg/L has little effect and undesirable side-effects appear if the concentration exceeds 20 mg/L. For a body that weighs W kg, the concentration when M mg is present is 2M/W mg/L and the constant that measures the rapidity at which the concentration falls is T = 6 h. If a 500-mg tablet of the drug is taken by a person weighing 70 kg, after how many hours should the second dose be taken so as to prevent the drug from falling below the effective concentration?
