Define gas exchange The process by which oxygen is transported to cells and carbon dioxide is transported by cells Hypoxemia reduced oxygenation of arterial blood Hypoxia state at which O2 reaching cells is insufficient Anoxia total lack of oxygen in tissues Ischemia Insufficient O2 blood to tissues Physiologic process of gas exchange Atmosphere (21% O2) →chemoreceptors in medulla sense CO2 levels → transmit to diaphragm and intercostals to contract to breathe deep → nose (warms & hum...

DRGs (diagnosis-related groups) - refers to reimbursement for health care services based on a predetermined fixed price-per-case or diagnosis; it categorizes patients to better control hospital costs; there is a time-table for how long someone with a DRG can be in the hospital on government funds, which is a barrier to proper healthcare. gastric secretion pH (checking NG tube) - less than 5.5 Hyponatremia - Stupor/coma Apprehension, headache confusion, depression convulsion, n/v Lethargy ...

what makes alveoli the ideal blood-gas interface - ANSWER--surface area, lots of alveoli -think, 1 cell thick -makes good for diffusion -they also have surfactant How do respiratory gasses (O2, CO2) move in the body? Why is this system so effective? - ANSWER--in the blood, gets there by pressure gradients, doesn't require energy what does the oxygen dissociation curve describe - ANSWER-percent oxygen saturation in arteries (carrying oxygen to tissues) what is the a-v oxygen difference...

What is the difference between blood and hemolymph? - Blood: In a Closed circulatory system and is confined to vessels. Hemolymph (AKA interstitial fluid): In an Open circulatory system and bathes the body cells. What are the major types of blood cells? - red and white cells What adaptations allow an animal to use diffusion across its skin as the only mechanism for gas exchange? - The animal must be thin and have a large surface area. Animals that only diffuse across the skin have a dense ...
