After catching her archenemy, Xena has lived a long and productive life. She is now 85 years old and has suffered gradual changes to her rib cage: there has been calcification and reduced motility of the rib articulations. She finds herself short of breath when trying to perform actions that previously caused her no difficulty.
Describe the changes the deteriorating condition of her ribcage causes on her respiratory function and explain how these changes result in her shortness of breath. In your answer, discuss an expected change to one lung volume or capacity.
The best location for an emergency airway opening to place a 'hole' is
Choose the following:
(A) between the hyoid bone and the thyroid cartilage
(B) between the thyroid and cricoid cartilages
(C) between the 3rd and 4th tracheal cartilage rings
A secret service agent is responding to a threat at the White House and rushes the president to the underground bunker. After seeing the
president into the bunker the agent shuts the door and runs back upstairs to confront the assailants. On her way, she runs through toxic
gas coming out of a gas canister and suddenly starts gasping for air and feels her muscles becoming weak. She also notices the iron (Fe)
rail she is holding onto has severely rusted. What is the toxic gas most likely doing to the agent's hemoglobin (Hb) molecules?
Select one:
a. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the R state, with a current oxidation state of Fe3t.
b. None of these.
c. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the T state while also reducing the disulfide bonds of the Hb tetramer thus eventually
creating many non-functional Hb a/ß monomers.
d. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the T state, with a current oxidations state of Fe2+.
e. It is causing the agent's Hb to adopt the T state, with a current…

- A 37-year-old male comes to the emergency room after having been stabbed above the left clavicle with an ice pick. The patient's main complaint is pain in the left side of the chest. Initial evaluation reveals a minute punctured wound superior to the left clavicle, just lateral to the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The vital signs are normal except for a moderately high respiratory rate. The chest radiograph shows the left lung to be collapsed to half its normal size and surrounded by air and blood. (This condition is known as hemopneumothorax, meaning blood and air in the thoracic cavity) 1.
