Bio 226 Exam 3 Questions And Answers With
Complete Solutions
CO2 is mostly displayed as _________ in plasma - ANSWER-HCO3
.describe acute mountain sickness (AMS) - ANSWER-occurs when low
atmosphere pressure at high altitudes. causes headaches, SOB, nausea,
dizziness, pulmonary edema. in order to accumulate to pressure difference the
body produces lots of RBCs
.Describe appendicitis - ANSWER-inflammation of appendix by infection of
trapped intestinal bacteria; symptoms: pain in right abdominal quadrant;
nausea, vomiting, fever; treat with surgery; if appendix bursts, peritonitis could
result
.describe asthma - ANSWER-bronchiospasm triggered by inflammation of
airways (allergens). casues coughing, wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness. treat
with corticosteroids and inhaler
.describe boyles law - ANSWER-pressure and volume are inversely proportional
(as one increases, the other decrease)
, .describe carbon monoxide posioning - ANSWER--symptoms include confusion,
headache, flushed skin, cherry face
-treat with hyperbaric O2 chamber
-Hb has 200x affinity for CO2 than O2
-due to noncomplete carbon combustion
.describe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - ANSWER-usually
emphysema and chronic bronchitis. causes labored breathing, increased
coughing, hypoxia. Can because by information from smoking/irritant
which causes fibrosis in lungs then alveolar walls deteriorate and enlarge,
airways collapse, longs loose elasticity. Treat with bronchial
dilator's/corticosteroids or lung volume reduction surgery
(something is preventing air to come into the lungs. Mucus production)
.describe cirrhosis of liver - ANSWER-chronic liver inflammation due to
alcoholism or Hep B/C; causes fibrosis in liver, depression of liver functioning
and portal hypertension; symptoms: nausea, flatulence, light-colored stools,
