Chapter 23, Problem 15PS
Interpreting Data Scientists in Brazil made a model of emphysema using mice by injecting a chemical into the trachea of mice and waiting 28 days for the disease to develop. As a control, they injected other mice with a simple saline (salt) solution. The scientists measured the velocity at which all mice could run on a treadmill before injection and 28 days after injection. Control mice could run 18 miles/min at both time points. The emphysema-induced mice ran 19 miles/min before injection and 16 miles/min 28 days later. Draw a graph with the data presented in this description of the experiment. What conclusion do you draw from the data?

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?
About 6 hours
Once a day
About 12 hours
O About 8 hours
You are studying with a friend who is describing the Bohr effect. She tells you that in the lungs, hemoglobin binds oxygen and releases hydrogen ion; as a result, the pH increases. She goes on to say that in actively metabolizing muscle tissue, hemoglobin releases oxygen and binds hydrogen ion and, as a result, the pH decreases. Do you agree with her reasoning? Why or why not?
The circulatory system is controlled in the Medulla oblongata through the accelerator
and inhibitory centres. Draw a schematic diagram to show the sequences of events
following low or high blood pressure detected at the baroreceptors.
