In metabolic alkalosis does the PO2 decreases?
The PO2 does decrease in metabolic acidosis, Similarly, there is a decrease in the pH and HCO3 levels. Metabolic acidosis is a condition where the body is producing too much acid.
Is the pO2 of blood in the pulmonary arteries is greater in the alveoli?
No, firstly pO2 is not a particularly good term for the measurement of oxygen within the blood as most of it is tied up in the heamoglobin molecules and as such is not part od the pO2. Secondly the pulmonary artery is the artery that carried deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where they gain oxygen from the alveolar cavity. Under the laws of diffusion this means the pO2 in the alveoli must be higher than the "pO2" in the blood here, but even just common sense tells you that the oxygen levels in the blood here are very low as this is the whole point in the blood going to the lung.
What is hypoxic threshold?
When the aterial PO2 drops and becomes around 60 to 70 mm Hg, an increase in ventilation occurs. This is caused by a low PO2 in the blood and is detected by the carotid bodies (chemoreceptor), because the aortic and central chemoreceptors do not detect a change in arterial PO2
Low pH alters hemoglobin structure so that oxygen binds less strongly to hemoglobin at low PO2 This increases the effectiveness of?
internal respiration
What would be the pH of a solution when H3PO4 equals H2PO4?
Assuming the Ka= [H+][PO2-]/[PO3-] and that PO3=PO2- then we can safely assume Ka= [H+][PO2-]/[PO2-] and so Ka= [H+][PO2-]/[PO2-] Ka=[H+] since the Ka of Phosphoric acid is equal to 7.5x10-3 then we can take -log(7.5x10-3) to find the pH=2.12
what do you do if your levels are to high or to low?
what do you do if your levels are to high or to low
What are the different types of triglycerides levels?
Normal triglyceride levels are considered to be anything below 150mg/dL. This is considered low risk. Slightly above normal is considered 151-199, some risk is considered 200-499, and high risk is anything above 500mg/dL.
Which blood vessel has a Po2 of 104 mm Hg?
Rather than a blood vessel with a value of 104mm Hg for Po2, it is alveolar gas thatt has a Po2 of 104 mm Hg
What is PO2 in blood?
PO2 in blood is the amount of gases in your blood. In medical terms, this is commonly called the Alveolar-arterial.
Arterial PO2 levels?
If 2.2 liters of gas is inhaled at 18 degrees Celsius and is heated to 38 degrees Celsius in the lungs, what is the new volume of the gas
What is the name for PO2?
PO2(OH)2 is the same as H2PO4^- (note the negative charge). It would be dihydrogen phosphate.
Is 3.9 potassium level considered low?
Normal levels range between 3.5-5.2 so you have nothing to worry about at this point.
