Question
Chapter 23, Problem 11CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The effect of breathing into a paper bag to treat hyperventilation.
Introduction:
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases between the blood and the external environment. The human body uses the respiratory system to take in and absorb oxygen and expel out carbon dioxide. The respiratory system is divided into various structures that function to accomplish the gaseous exchange.

Stephanie was hysterical and hyperventilating, so a doctor made herbreathe into a paper bag. An especially astute student said to thedoctor, “When Stephanie was hyperventilating, she was reducingblood CO2 levels; when she breathed into the paper bag, CO2 wastrapped in the bag, and she was rebreathing it, thus causing bloodCO2 levels to increase. As Stephanie’s blood CO2 levels increased,her urge to breathe should have increased. Instead, she began tobreathe more slowly. Please explain.” How do you think the doctorresponded? (Hint: Recall that the effect of decreased blood CO2 onthe vasomotor center results in vasodilation and a sudden decreasein blood pressure.)
Xena lights a fire to keep warm, and cook his green root vegetables, which are extremely alkaline. Xena is so hungry, and she is eating all her green root vegetables making her blood quite alkaline for a short time.
In a healthy body, sometimes the O2/Hb curve shifts to the right (the green line in the figure above). Give one example of a change to blood chemistry that may shift the curve to the right in a healthy body. Explain what impact this has on O2 delivery to the tissues and explain the importance of this phenomenon in maintaining homeostasis.
Xena lights a fire to keep warm, and cook his green root vegetables, which are extremely alkaline. Xena is so hungry, and she is eating all her green root vegetables making her blood quite alkaline for a short time.
An example of the O2/Hb dissociation curve is provided below. The central blue line represents ‘normal blood’, and the typical affinity of Hb for O2. Referring to this figure will help you answer the following questions. Describe how the oxygen transporting capacity of haemoglobin will change for a short time in the presence of alkaline blood and explain the consequence of this change to the oxygen supply of peripheral tissues for this short time. Justify your answers.
