- Why do you think this change in levels occurs about the oxygen levels as blood passes through the lungs? ?arrow_forwardWhy would heat production and body temperature and epinephrine and norepinephrine levels have an effect on the amount of Oxygen a person takes in?arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide is produced during aerobic respiration of animals but is not completely removed from the body. What then is its role in homeostasis?arrow_forward
- Why must aerobic organisms such as yourself inhale oxygen and exhale CO2?arrow_forwardHenry climbed to the top of Mt. Apo. To celebrate, he drank a glass of whiskey. At higher altitude oxygen gas decreases. What do you expect to happen to Henry’s respiratory rate? Will this result to respiratory alkalosis or acidosis? Explain.arrow_forwardwhy do oxygen levels decreasearrow_forward
- In most tissues, if the temperature is increased by 10°C, how much is the rate of respiration increased?arrow_forwardOxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across our respiratory surface into and out of the blood via simple diffusion. The respiratory membrane is thin so gases diffuse only a short distance through the liquid and into the blood. Fluid buildup in the lungs increases the distance through the liquid medium. How does this impact the concentration of oxygen in the blood? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat are the most two important gases that must have a normal concentration inside the body? a.)Carbon dioxide and Hydrogen b.)Carbon dioxide and Oxygen c.)Hydroxide and Carbon d.)Hydrogen and Nitrogenarrow_forward
- how does the process of exhalation influence the pH of blood, considering the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal in regulating acid-base balance? Discuss the physiological mechanisms involved in maintaining blood pH during exhalation, including the role of respiratory control centers and the relationship between CO2 levels, bicarbonate, (HCO3-), carbonic acid (H2CO3) formation, and pH changes in the bloodstreamarrow_forwardA depressed person attempts to commit suicide by taking a whole bottle of sleeping pills. The pills cause a drastic decrease in the pH. The patient starts having breathing difficulties because the thick and thin filaments within the respiratory muscles are breaking down. Explain in depth the correlation between the person’s pH and why their respiratory muscles are breaking down.arrow_forward
