    after high altitude training last for 9-20 days. Respirations are also affected with high altitudes. The athlete will experience problems breathing due to a lack of oxygen. Their respiratory rate will increase‚ a condition called hyperventilation which will cause respiratory alkalosis. Respiratory alkalosis can prevent the person from enhancing their breathing rate to the level needed for survival. Most of the time the body will compensate for the decrease in oxygen. With exercise‚ the

    which demonstrates hypoxemia and mild respiratory alkalosis. Discussion Questions 1. Considering T.V.’s history‚ what is the most likely cause of her respiratory distress? Why? a. The primary cause of the patient’s respiratory distress comes from hypoxemia. The hypoxemia is caused by heart failure possibly from emboli and obstructions in the circulatory system‚ which is causing the patient to breathe harder and faster to compensate. The mild respiratory alkalosis/hypoventilation is from the hypoxemia

    amounts of either strong acid or base will not affect blood pH because of the buffer in blood. Human blood has a natural buffer that can withstand a certain amount of acidosis or alkalosis before the pH drops drastically. Researchers have discovered that long periods of physical activity can cause sudden drops in pH of blood (acidosis) but will gradually return to its original state (Wood et al. 1976)‚ which shows the human blood buffer at work. The procedure is the same as in my Experimental

    potentials. It does this by moving in and out of the body’s cells with the help of the sodium-potassium pump‚ an active transport system than moves potassium against its concentration gradient. This is what gives cells their membrane potential. In acidosis‚ there is a high concentration of hydrogen ions in the extracellular fluid‚ this promotes an influx of Hydrogen ions into the cells. As the electro positive Hydrogen ion moves into the cell‚ Potassium (K+) moves out of the cell to maintain the membrane
