Chapter 8: Q. 8.69 (page 282)

At a restaurant, a customer chokes on a piece of food. You put your arms around the person's waist and use your fists to push up on the person's abdomen, an action called the Heimlich maneuver.(8.2)

a. How would this action change the volume of the chest and lungs?

b. Why does it cause the person to expel the food item from the airway?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. In this action volume of the lungs and chest decreases.

b. In this action volume of the lungs decreases and pressure is increase inside the lungs which causes food to expel.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1: Given Information

We need to find what changes the volume of the chest and lungs.

02

Part (a) step 2: Simplify

Here, arms around the person's waist and use your fists to push up on the person's abdomen. This action decreases the volume of the lungs and chest.

03

Part (b) step 1: Given Information

We need to find that why does it cause the person to expel the food item from the airway.

04

Part (b) step 2: Simplify

In this condition your arms around the person's waist and use your fists to push up on the person's abdomen. The action decreases the volume of the lungs and then increases pressure inside the lungs which causes food to expel.

In a gas mixture, the partial pressures are nitrogen 425Torr, oxygen 115Torr, and helium 225Torr. What is the total pressure, in Torr, exerted by the gas mixture?

You are doing research on the planet X. The temperature inside the space station is carefully controlled 24掳Cand the pressure is 775mmHg. Suppose that a balloon, which has a volume of 850mLinside the space station, is placed into the airlock, and floats out to planet X. If the planetXhas an atmospheric pressure of 0.150atmand the volume of the balloon changes to 3.22L, what is the temperature, in degree Celsius, on the planet X( ndoes not change)?(8.5)

Use the words inspiration and expiration to describe the part of the breathing cycle that occurs as a result of each of the following:

a. The diaphragm contracts.

b. The volume of the lungs decreases.

c. The pressure within the lungs is less than that of the atmosphere.
