Kussmaul Breathing: Understanding Deep and Rapid Breathing in Diabetic Metabolic Acidosis
A diabetic patient developed metabolic acidosis resulting in deep and rapid breathing which is called (1) Kussmaul breathing (2) Cheyne-Stokes respiratory pattern (3) Apneustic breathing (4) Periodic breathing Introduction […]
Truths and Myths About Red Blood Cell Production During High-Altitude Hypoxia
In high altitude, hypoxia induces increased number of circulating red blood cells, which can be explained by the following changes: A. The transcription factors, HIPS are produced. B. Erythropoietin secretion […]
Identifying Incorrect Statements About Human Acclimatization to High Altitude
In high altitude, a number of compensatory mechanisms operate over a period of time to increase altitude tolerance in humans which is called acclimatization. The following statements propose these compensatory […]
Mechanisms Underlying the Breaking Point in Voluntary Breath Holding: Role of J-Receptors, Hering-Breuer Reflex, and Blood Gas Sensors
Which one of the following is NOT true in the process of acclimatization to high altitude? (1) Respiratory alkalosis (2) Increased 2,3-DPG in RBC (3) Rise in pH of cerebrospinal […]
Understanding the Breaking Point in Breath Holding: Roles of J-Receptors, Hering-Breuer Reflex, and Blood Gas Changes
Respiration can be inhibited voluntarily for some time. The point at which respiration cannot be voluntarily inhibited is known as breaking point. Following explanations are offered for the breaking point: […]
Understanding Respiratory Ventilation Changes in Response to Varying Inspired Oxygen Partial Pressure
The following statements suggest the changes in respiratory ventilation and the mechanisms of these changes when a normal human subject is allowed to inhale air containing different oxygen content: A. […]
Understanding the Breaking Point in Human Breath Holding: Correct Physiological Features Explained
A human subject can voluntarily inhibit respiration for some time but the subject feels irresistible urge to resume breathing after a while at a point which is called the breaking […]
Understanding Pulmonary J-Receptor Responses: Which is NOT True During Hyperventilation?
Which one is NOT a true response of pulmonary J- receptor stimulation by hyperventilation of lung? (1) Bronchodilation (2) Decreased heart rate (3) Apnoea followed by rapid breathing (4) Low […]
Clarifying Correct and Incorrect Statements on Oxygen Supply to Active Muscles During Exercise
During physical exercise, the oxygen supply to the active muscles is increased which has been explained by the following statements: A. PO2 declines and PCO2 rises in the active muscles […]
