1. Hematocrit values are usually ( *higher / lower ) in healthy males, compared to healthy females.
Give one possible explanation for this.
2. Living at high elevations will cause a person’s hematocrit to ( *increase / decrease ).
Explain your answer.
3. Long-term athletic training will cause a person’s hematocrit to ( *increase / decrease ).
4. What is anemia?
Condition where inadequate oxygen is delivered to the body’s cells.
5. Anemia will cause a person’s hematocrit to ( increase / *decrease ).
6. Pernicious anemia is due to a lack of vitamin -- B12

female with iron deficiency anemia: 8 gms /100ml blood
16. Explain your answer to (c) above.
Higher than normal RBCs.
17. Explain your answer to (d) above.
Not enough iron to use in hemoglobin production.
18. Complete the following questions to describe hemoglobin.
How many polypeptide chains form the globin portion of the molecule? 4
Each heme group contains an atom of the element. Iron.
How many heme groups are contained in one molecule of hemoglobin? 4
Each hemoglobin molecule can transport __4___ molecules of oxygen.
What color is oxyhemoglobin? Bright red
19. Hemoglobin values rise in COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Give a possible explanation for this.
20. Hemoglobin values decrease in renal disease. Give a possible explanation for this.
Kidneys make hormone erythropoietin which stimulates RBC production. Kidney failure or disease decrease secretion of hormone.
Blood Typing
21. Define the following terms. agglutinogen: antigen that stimulates the production of an agglutinin agglutinen: substance that causes particles to coagulate to form a thickened mass gene allele:
22. What is the most common ABO blood type in the United States? O
23. What is the least common ABO blood type in the United States? AB
24. Most Americans are Rh ( positive / negative ).
25. Erythroblastosis fetalis is an uncommon condition in newborn infants. In this condition, the baby is Rh (
1. Explain the change in ERV with exercise. the ERV decrease with exercise asssuming that the volume of air was exhaled more than being enhaled at the time. 2. Explain the change in IRV with exercise. IRV decreased as well because the amount of air that was supposed to be inhale was very little inhalation during the time of exercising. 3. Explain the change in IC with exercise. IC increase with exercise beacause the subjects were able to allow their lungs to breath. 4. Explain the change in FRC with exercise. The FRC decrease just a little with exercise. 5. Explain why RV does not change with exercise. the ERV decrease with exercise asssuming that the volume of air was exhaled more than being enhaled at the time. 6. Explain why VC does not change with exercise. the vital capacity remain the same because it accumulated the tidal
Iron Deficiency Anemia affects millions of individuals across the world. This disease strikes many more women than men and has harmful effects on all who suffer from this deficiency that causes oxygen-carrying capacity to decrease. The causes can vary amongst different groups, but the aggravating symptoms remain constant. Much of the research on Iron Deficiency Anemia concentrates on not only the treatment of this disease, but also the prevention of it. To attain a better understanding of how to treat this problem, one must clearly know what Iron Deficiency Anemia means, what causes this disease, the effects of it, and finally how to cure it.
The nursing metaparadigm concepts described by Fawcett (as cited in McEwen & Willis, 2011), are a primary phenomena of interest to a discipline, which identifies globally by ways in which, nursing can deal with those phenomena in a distinctive and applicable manner. The functional aspects of the meta-paradigm according to Kim (as cited in McEwen & Willis, 2011), involve a combination of intellectual and
Question K: How would you have expected Cari’s deceased Pco2 and alkaline blood pH to have affected her breathing?
1. In the paternalistic model of doctor-patient relationship, power resident exclusively with Doctors; in the engineering model, it resides entirely with Patients.
Hypoxia stimulates the kidneys to increase the release of the hormone erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is produced by the kidneys to increase the number of RBC precursors. Erythropoiesis is the process of red blood cell formation.

2. Which of the lab values gives you information about how Mrs. Burroughs’ kidneys are functioning?
6. What is the normal pH of blood? Why was Allen’s blood pH below normal? Pg. 970-971.
The t value for the physical component score implies that men and women post MI had different
2. Which of the following terms refers to either a reduction in the quantity of hemoglobin or a reduction in the volume of red blood cells?
Did the pH level of the blood change at all during this run? If so, how? Yes it did, when the breathing
The Pacinian corpuscle and free nerve ending will likely not have a membrane protein that recognizes other molecules because their stimulus modality are not chemical unlike the olfactory receptors.

High blood pressure which is called hypertension is another common disease which can cause chronic renal failure. This
