A&P Critical Thinking Help?

[amanda081106]

I have three questions of which I am not completely sure about the answer. Our book or notes, if you can even call it that, are made by the teacher with fill-in-the-blanks that we fill in as she lectures. I have found it hard to use and cannot for the life of me find the answers to these three questions. I have a general idea, just not completely sure and really just want to be sure of my answers. So any help?

1. How can emphysema lead to acid-base imbalance?

2. Decide whether the following conditions would cause urine to become more acidic or more basic. Place acidic or basic in the blank.

A. Vegetarian Diet -

B. Protein-Rich Diet -

C. Starvation -

3. Circle the term that does not belong in the following groupings:

1.

A.) Hypothalamus

B.) ADH

C.) Aldosterone

D.) Osmoreceptors

2.

A.) ADH

B.) Decreased Blood Pressure

C.) Increased Blood Volume

D.) Increased Water Re-absorption

3.

A.) Decreased Urine pH

B.) Increased H+ in urine

C.) Increased HCO3-

D.) Increased ketones

The first thing that pops in my mind is:

1) Look up what the condition does, and look at how CO2 is packaged or carried in the blood. Put the information together and you should have an answer.

2) Look at what the by-products of breaking those foods down are.

c) I will give you a hint here, look up ketoacidosis, to get an idea of what's going on. Minus the Diabetes.

3) Find out what ADH is, if you don't already know, and that should give you the answer.

4) You should come across the answer for this while searching for question 1, 2, and 1.

I figured it out. The answers were right in front of me, I just wasn't seeing them. Thank you.
