significantly over time but the DP gradually increased towards the end. Our main result was when HR and SP were high the DP and MAP were low and vice versa (for their specific number ranges). This is because when exercising the oxygen tissues need much more hemoglobin (which transfer oxygen) which in return makes the heart need to pump out more blood and which raises the pressure (systolic pressure).

melanin determines their skin color. To some extent‚ these factors are genetically controlled. Small amounts of Melanin result in a white color showing through the epidermis. Hemoglobin is also a larger factor that influences skin color. People with less melanin in their skin have this red color coming through from hemoglobin which give their skin a pinkish color. Carotene is also a factor when dealing with skin color. Carotene is a yellowish pigment. It is contained in certain foods so people who

concentration was obtained is questionable. Was the concentration known before the experiment began‚ or was it found based on a similarly known variable so the epsilon value could be known for Beer’s law. Additionally‚ if the epsilon was found from a stock hemoglobin sample what was it’s concentration? Were the dilutions parallel or serial? What dilutions or epsilon value was found?. The experiment can still be conducted effectively without such information‚ but it would have made things easier. Question 2

When the oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin with a rising pC02 will lower since pCO2 that lower since CO2 will take over the o2’s. 10. As Cari’s Pc02 rose‚ how was the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin affected? When the PH and Pc02 were lowered her rate of breathing would also lower so there is added oxygen in the hemoglobin.

A) How could an infection in Cari’s nasal passages and pharynx spread into her sinuses? The infection in Cari’s nasal passages and pharynx was able to spread into her sinuses due to the sinuses being a drainage area for the nasal passages. B) What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is

Adams Instructor: Croshaw Medical Terminology 1 18‚ April 2013 Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle-cell Anemia is a genetic blood disorder caused by the presence of an abnormal form of hemoglobin molecules in which the red blood cells loose their disc-shape and become crescent shaped. The shape also known as “hemoglobin S”. unlike normal red cells which are usually smooth and malleable‚ tend to collect after releasing oxygen‚ and cannot squeeze through small blood vessels. The organs are then deprived
