What happens to the thickness of the respiratory membrane in a patient with pulmonary edema?
B. thickness increases since mucus is produced and covers the membrane
Pulmonary edema is is an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin, or in one or more cavities of the body.
It would be safe to assume that the respiratory membrane of the patient is filling up with fluid (as in pneumonia) and the membrane will increase (as in pneumonia)
What else can I help you with?
What happens at the respiratory membrane?
gas exchange
What happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
What is the system that exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and air?
The system that exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between blood and air is the respiratory system. This process occurs in the lungs, where oxygen is taken in from the air we breathe and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the air we exhale.
What is pleurisy in animals?
Pleurisy in animals happens in the respiratory system. Pleurisy is the formation of a very thick layer of membrane over the lungs. Both humans and animals can get pleurisy.
What happens when the pulmonary valve is malformed?
When the pulmonary valve is malformed, it forces the right ventricle to pump harder to overcome the obstruction
What happens to the blood during pulmonary circulaton?
It becomes thicker
What is critical thickness during heat treatment?
In iron materials ,during the critical thickness of it the ironoxide grows inside the material. This thickness where it happens is called critical thickness.
What happens to an oxygen gas when it reaches an alveolus?
It defuses throught the respiratory membrane and binds to hemoglobin (in humans) following a hemoglobin type-specific binding affinity curve (depending on the Po2 of the local atmosphere.)
What happens to respiratory rate when you change posture?
Why does the respiratory rate change depending on age?
What happens to the pocket in the cell in the membrane when it breaks loose from the membrane?
Usually, the membrane will burst and let its contents out into the cell membrane and get used up.
What happens when your respiratory rate drops to 8?
You dead.
What happens to the portion of a cell membrane that surrounds a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
