Urine |
|
A huge quantity of CO2 is generated daily as the result of _______? |
oxidative metabolism |
|
These CO2 molecules participate in the generation of hydrogen ions during the passage of blood through peripheral tissues for the following reactions. |
Oxidative metabolism |
|
|
Formula of oxidative metabolism |
|
Causes a net gain of hydrogen ions. |
Hypoventilation (acidosis) |
|
causes a net elimination of hydrogen ions. |
hyperventilation(alkalosis) |
|
When gastrointestinal secretions leave the body this represents a change in hydrogen ions. |
Vomitus and Diarrhea |
|
Will cause an increase in pH (more alkaline) & loss of H+ ion. |
Vomitus |
|
Will cause a decrease in pH; gain H+ ions |
Diarrhea |
|
When a bicarbonate ion is lost from the body is the same as if the body __________? |
has gained a hydrogen ion |
|
Any substance that can reversibly bind hydrogen ions is called ? |
a buffer |
|
Most hydrogen ions are buffered by? |
extracellular and intracellular |
|
Bicarbonate/ammonia |
extracellular |
|
proteins/phosphates |
intracellular |
|
When H+ ion concentration increases for any reason the reaction is forced ________________? |
Forced to the right. |
|
When H+ concentration decreases because of the loss of H+ ions or the addition of alkali the equation proceeds to the __________ and H+ is released from Hbuffer. |
to the left |
|
Buffering does not eliminate hydrogen ions from the __________________ |
body or add them to the body. |
|
It only keeps them "locked up" until balance can be restored. |
Buffering |
|
Name the 3 buffers |
1.Blood buffers 2.Respiratory System 3.Renal Buffering |
|
Respiratory System and _______ work together. |
kidneys |
|
altered plasma H+ ion concentration is very rapid (minutes) and keeps this concentration from changing too much untill.... |
Respiratory Response |
|
The more ______________ (hours to days) can actually eliminate the imbalance. |
slowly responding kidneys |

altered to help compensate for the imbalance |
|
Elevated arterial H+ ion concentration stimulates ? |
ventilation |
|
Hyperventilation causes reduced arterial PCO2. True or False? |
True |
|
Decreased plasma H+ ion concentration inhibits _____? |
ventilation |
|
The kidneys eliminate or replenish H+ ions from the body by ____________________________________? |
altering plasma bicarbonate concentration. |
|
The excretion of a bicarbonate in the urine increases the plasma H+ ion concetration just as if H+ ion had been added to the plasma. T/F |
True |
|
Also the addition of a bicarbonate to the plasma lowers the plasma H+ ion concentration just as if a H+ ion had been removed from the plasma.T/F |
True |
|
Kidney tubular cells produce ? |
New bicarbonate and add it up to plasma.This lowers the plasma H+ ion concentration toward normal. |
