If a patient's arterial blood pH was 7.25, how would you expect the patient's respiratory system to respond as it tried to restore pH homeostasis? Explain your answer.

Q) If a person's blood pH is too low, mechanisms are in place toraise the pH and reestablish homeostasis. if the pH is too low,would a person's respiratory rate increase or decrease to correctit, and how would it make a difference?

Dr. Jones had a patient who was experiencing a significant ketoacidosis such that her blood pH was 7.25. She presented at the ER stating that she had respiratory issues. Using what you know about protein structure/function with regard to pH, EXPLAIN the patient’s symptoms. Use graphs, if necessary.

- Apply the method to homeostasis in biological organisms

As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, which means less oxygen is diffused into the blood from the lungs. For instance, at 18,000 feet you would obtain 29% less oxygen than you would at sea level. This can lead to altitude sickness, or hypoxia as it is called.

Imagine a mountain climber, who lives at sea level, trying to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for the first time. The climber is very fit so he plans to summit the 19,341 foot peak in four days, though it usually takes first-time climbers five or six days. Use your knowledge of equilibrium to predict the climber’s reaction to this speedy climb, and the reaction needed to restore equilibrium.

Match the equations to the appropriate blanks in the sentences. Make certain each sentence is complete before submitting your answer.

equilibrium shifts to O2release

equilibrium shifts to HbO2formation

1. When the climber ascends the mountain before acclimating, to restore homeostasis within the body.

2. As the climber rehydrates and rests at a basecamp, hemoglobin (Hb) is produced, which is the body's response to the stress. As a result, .

3. When the climber returns to sea level before reacclimating, to restore homeostasis within the body.

4. As the climber reacclimates to sea level, hemoglobin is replaced at a lower rate, decreasing hemoglobin concentrations in the blood. As a result, .
