6) Based on what you learned in Chapters 14 and 15 about heart rate and blood pressure, speculate on why Nicole has a low blood pressure with a rapid pulse. Facts: Integration and Analysis: 7) Would you expect Nicole's renin and aldosterone levels to be normal, elevated, or depressed? How might these levels relate to her K+ disturbance> Facts: Integration and Analysis: 8) Give some possible reasons Nicole had been feeling weak during dance rehearsals. Facts: Integration and Analysis: 9) Why might an NPY agonist help in cases of anorexia? Facts: Integration and Analysis:

Is the pH high, low, or normal? __________ 2. Is the patient showing acidosis, alkalosis, or neither? __________ 3. Is the PCO2 high, low, or normal? __________ 4. Is the respiratory system the cause of the condition, or is it compensating, or neither? __________ 5. Is the HCO3 high, low, or normal? __________ 6. Is the HCO3 the cause of the condition, or is it compensating, or neither? __________ 7. Can you name the condition? __________ 8. Can you give a possible cause?

Ms. Y has suddenly experienced a substantial loss of endurance capacity. Six months ago, she was a good runner and swimmer, capable of exercising for hours, yet now she can only exercise for a few minutes before tiring. As the local physiology expert, you are called in to help the M.D. diagnose the problem. 3. If the problem is with the cardiovascular system (such as anemia or a weak left ventricle), what should the numbers be for these parameters? Explain why (2 pts) 3a. Arterial PO2: 3b. arterial hemoglobin percent saturation: 3c. arterial PCO2: 3d. Explain why
