70 year old female moved from Fort Worth to Denver, Colorado has viral lung infection causing difficult breathing with a nasty cough
Upstream Causes
Higher altitudes have colder air that is less dense and contain fewer oxygen molecules than lower altitude
Viral infections cause shortness of breath, chest tightness, and wheezing when exhaling
Age your lung tissue, bones, and muscles all change
Downstream Effects
-
-
Fast, shallow breathing, wet, wheezy cough and fluid in lungs because the lungs cannot fill up with air as easily
-
Lung Anatomy
-
-
-
-
Spongy, air filled organs

Partial Pressure
-
The pressure that would be exerted by one of the gases in a mixture if it occupied the same volume on its own
Gas Laws
Dalton's Law
Law of partial pressures: the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is a sum of the partial pressures of each of the separate gases
-
Henry's Law
-
States that at the amount of gas that is dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid when the temperature is kept constant
Boyle's Law
The pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature
