However, in a critical setting, a patient with a normal pH, a high CO 2, and a high bicarbonate means that, although there is a high carbon dioxide level, there is metabolic compensation. As a result, one must be careful as to not artificially adjust breaths to lower the carbon dioxide.
The average reaction time is 0.1778 s for male students, 0.1950 s for female students, 0.2033 s male teachers, and 0.1878 s for female teachers (refer to the graph for the rest of the information: median, quartile, etc.).
Slow reaction times may come with consequences. Reaction time is a measure of the quickness an organism responds to some sort of stimulus. You also have âreflexesâ too. Reflexes and reactions, while seeming similar, are quite different. Reflexes are involuntary, used to protect the body, and are faster than a reaction. Reflexes are usually a negative feedback loop and act to help return the body to its normal functioning stability, or homeostasis. The classic example of a reflex is one you have seen at your doctorâs office: the patellar reflex.
