PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) reflects the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in the blood. PCO is the amount of dissolved carbon dioxide. We will use this to denote amount of gas in blood. 1. How would the following affect the respiratory center? Chose stimulate or inhibit. Alkalosis, High pH (low H) Ischemia Pain /Panic Ketoacidosis Hypocapnic Exercise Hypercapnic, High PCO2 2. Susie is in the midst of an intense spin cycle routine and her breathing rate has increased to 30 breaths/min. and volume has increased to 2000 ml/breath. What factors triggered this increase in breathing rate & depth? Think about 02, CO2, and proprioceptors. 2. A patient suffers acute respiratory acidosis (low blood pH) due to decreased ventilation during resuscitation from post-operative ventricular fibrillation. a) How would decreased ventilation affect PCO, and PO,? PCO PO2 b) How would the change in PCO2 and P02 affect the following, so the body can restore homeostasis? Respiratory center activity Breathing rate / depth 3. S.S. has diabetes and is experiencing ketoacidosis (low pH). He suddenly felt a violent contraction of his diaphragm and chest muscles. Explain why the sudden contraction happened, what is going on with her breathing? PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) reflects the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in the blood.
