cellular metabolism generates CO2, which is eliminated by the lungs. If respiration decreases, what will happen to the pH of the blood?
|
PH decreases
|
|
|
when hydrogen ion concentration decreases, acidity ___________, and pH ______________.
|
decreases; increases
|
|
|
Which of the following is a strong acid,releasing more hydrogen ions in solution and,thus,lowering the pH more than the others?
|
HCl
|
|
|
Of the three ways the body maintains a normal pH, which is the fastest system?
|
chemical buffers
|
|
|
When pH is low in plasma,the kidney uses three mechanisms to restore pH. The first mechanism is reabsorption of filtered bicarbonate. What are the other two mechanisms?
|
new bicarbonate ions are generated and hydrogen ions are secreted
|
|
|
the normal pH of arterial blood is:
|
7.35 - 7.45
|
|
|
A loss of bicarbonate due to diarrhea can lead to a _______ (name the acid/base disturbance) with _________ (metabolic or respiratory) compensation.
|
metabolic acidosis; respiratory
|
|
|
vomiting (with a loss of HCl acid from the stomach) will cause which type of acid/base disturbance? what would be the compensation?
|
metabolic alkalosis; decreased respiration
|
|
|
Emphysema can lead to which acid/Base disturbance? what would be the compensation?
|
respiratory acidosis; kidneys will retain more HCO3 and excrete H+
|
|
|
Severe anxiety would cause which type of acid / base disturbance? what would be the compensation?
|
respiratory alkalosis; excrete HCO3
