Q

If the bicarbonate buffer system shifts to the right, what happens to pH and therefore respiratory output?

A

pH and respiratory output decrease

20
Q

If the bicarbonate buffer system shifts to the left, what happens to pH and therefore respiratory output?

A

pH and respiratory output increase

21
Q

What is the equation for minute volume

A

MV = TV x RR

22
Q

What is external respiration?

A

Gas exchange between alveoli and blood

23
Q

What is internal respiration?

A

Gas exchange between blood and tissue cells

24
Q

What factors affect the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve?

A

pH, temperature, and PaCO2

25
Q

What does it mean when the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the left?

A

pH increases, CO2 and temp decrease. Therefore, O2 has a high affinity for Hb

26
Q

What does it mean when the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right?

A

pH decreases, CO2 and temp increase. O2 has a low affinity for Hb
