Cellular membranes are self-sealing— if they are punctured or disrupted mechanically, they quickly and automatically reseal. What properties of membranes are responsible for this important feature?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The hydrophilic interactions among membrane lipids are noncovalent and reversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.
  2. The hydrophobic interactions among membrane lipids are noncovalent and
    reversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.
  3. The hydrophobic interactions between membrane lipids and cholesterol are noncovalent and reversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.
  4. The hydrophobic interactions among membrane lipids are covalent and irreversible, allowing membranes to spontaneously reseal.

A 17-year-old female was bicycling without a helmet when she fell and hit her head. In the emergency room, she was not conscious and was receiving ventilator assistance. Her blood gases follow:

PaO2 = 52 mm Hg,

PaCO2 = 75 mm Hg, pH = 7.15, and

HCO3− = 31 mM

The majority of the CO2 was being transported as

The next diagram shows two lung units (S and T) with their blood supplies. Lung unit S has an ideal relationship between blood flow and ventilation. Lung unit T has a comprised blood flow. What is the relationship between alveolar dead space (DALV), physiologic dead space (DPHY) and anatomic dead space (DANAT) for these lung units?
