Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 3CCS
Barbara Joley was in the bus that was hit broadside. When she was freed from the wreckage, she was deeply cyanotic and her respiration had stopped. Her heart was still beating, but her pulse was fast and thready. The emergency medical technician reported that when Barbara was found, her head was cocked at a peculiar angle and it looked like she had a fracture at the level of the C2 vertebra. The following questions refer to these observations.
Why is Barbara cyanotic? Explain cyanosis.

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
Alan has been smoking for the past 20 years and has been experiencing some shortness of breath and a cough. His physician, Dr. Anthony, sees him. The physician orders a lung capacity test and a chest X-ray. Name the organs of external respiration.

The diagnosis was pneumothorax and a collapsed lung. Why did the lung collapse, and why only one lung (not both) collapsed.arrow_forwardPatients with severe cases of COVID-19 (the disease caused by the coronavirus) may not be able to breathe on their own and so need mechanical ventilation. This condition occurs when the virus attacks the lining of the lungs, resulting in a buildup of fluid and dead cells in the alveoli. Using your knowledge of the anatomy and function of human lungs, explain why this condition makes it difficult for adequate gas exchange to occur.arrow_forward

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.
