Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Sodium and calcium are electrolytes. P50 is the partial pressure of oxygen at 50 saturation. HHb is deoxygenated hemoglobin, and HCO3 is bicarbonate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Find 80 mm Hg on the x-axis of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, and draw a straight ver-tical line up to the dissociation curve. Then from that point, draw a horizontal line across to the y-axis. That will give the saturation.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
