Explain how the hemoglobin saturation curve shifted during the run to accommodate this higher demand.

Caroline a 19 year old athlete woke up one morning and decided to go for a 13 mi Show more Case Study #5 Caroline a 19 year old athlete woke up one morning and decided to go for a 13 mile run. During the run her skeletal muscles required more oxygen to metabolize glucose. Explain how the hemoglobin saturation curve shifted during the run to accommodate this higher demand. How does this change in binding affinity change automatically when the tissues demands for oxygen increase? Case Study #6 Wes a 13 year old male was admitted to the hospital with a low oxygen saturation reading and shortness of breath. He was soon diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs. Explain in detail how does pneumonia cause low oxygen saturation? (Think Diffusion) How did this infection lead to a shortness of breath? Case Study #7 Anne a traveling college student was in Africa with an outreach group where she was rushed to the rushed to the hospital after many days of diarrhea emesis and dehydration. The doctors examined her stool sample and discovered bacteria that cause Cholera. How does Cholera cause these symptoms? (Think about Cl-) Is she at risk for acidosis or alkalosis or both? Explain your answer. Case Study # 8 Caleb recently developed lactose intolerance due to stress. After eating lactose Caleb has the following symptoms: bloating loose stool and flatulence. How does the inability to break down lactose result in these symptoms? Where is lactose broken down usually? Into what products? Case Study # 9 Yvette suffers from a rare sex linked disorder that manifests in a deficiency of one particular enzyme: pyruvate dehydrogenase. While she appeared relatively normal in infancy by the age of 4 she exhibited seizures poor coordination and stunted neural development. What role does this enzyme play in metabolism? How does lacking this enzyme result in her symptoms? Would her blood pH be higher or lower than usual? Why? Show less
