Imagine that a patient is admitted to the hospital after falling from the second-story window of her apartment. Tests reveal no injuries other than some swelling in the brain. Why then would her breathing become irregular? A her tissues require more oxygen for healing B The blood returning to the lungs from the brain is too high in oxygen C The respiratory center in the lungs is malfunctioning due to a lack of carbon dioxide D The damage to the brain is affecting the respiratory center in the medulla E Her swollen brain is causing a decrease in blood pressure

The aquatic Lake Titicaca frog,Telmatobius culeus, is endemic to high Andean lakes (3812 meters above sea level) and has greatly reduced lungs, but elaborated skinfolds which are well perfused. It has one of the lowest recorded metabolic rates for amphibians at 14.1 μL gL g-1h-1. It also has the smallest reported erythrocyte volume (394 μL g3) for any amphibian, and a reduced O2 carrying capacity of its blood at 11.7 vol %. Based on your knowledge of the oxygen carrying capacity of blood, what might explain the low carrying capacity in T. culeus? When these frogs are submerged at the bottom of these alpine lakes, they occasionally bob by pushing off the lake bottom with their hind legs and floating back down again. What might be the function of this bobbing behavior? How would you quantify this bobbing function?
