3. What are the five primary functions of the respiratory system?

5. Frank has been fasting for several days and he begins to notice a strong smell of ammonia in his urine. He begins to worry and buy some pH paper from the chemistry lab and finds that his urine is also very acidic. What could account for these observations?

9. Carlos has advanced arteriosclerosis. An analysis of hi blood indicates elevated levels of aldosterone and decreased levels of ADH. Explain.

10. Fred has chronic emphysema. Blood tests show that his pH is normal but his bicarbonate levels are elevated significantly. How can this be?

11. A person who is hyperventilating and disoriented id brought into the Emergency room> blood analysis indicates that the person has elevated levels of potassium (hyperkalemia). Is the most likely cause acidosis or alkalosis? Explain.

12. Glen has chronic emphysema. A blood analysis indicates that his plasma pH is 7.4, although his plasma bicarbonate level is significantly elevated. How can this be?
