Molecules that release protons (hydrogen ions) I'm a solution are called?

Acids

Molecules that accept hydrogen ions (protons) are?

bases

Hydrogen chloride (HCI)in water has 100% separation of its ions which did not recombine.

Strong acid

Lactic acid only releases a fraction of ions in solution.

Weak acid

The acidity of a solution thus refers to the ______________________ in the solution?

free hydrogen ion concentration

The ___________________ concentration , the greater the acidity.

Higher the hydrogen

Tge higher the hydrogen ion concentration, the _________.

the greater the acidity

The hydrogen ion concentration is expressed as the solutions _____?

pH

pH is ___________ to the base 10 of the hydrogen ion concentration.


the negative logarithm

Decrease in one number is?

10x increase in H+ ions

pH=?

-log [H+]

10x increase on H+ ions=?

Decrease in one number

Pure water has a pH of ____ and is termed a neutral solution.

pH of 7

Pure water has a pH of 7 and is termed a _________.

neutral solution

_______ have a lower hydrogen ion concentration (a pH higher than 7.0)

Alkaline solutions

______________ have a higher hydrogen ion concentration (a pH lower than 7.0)

Acidic solutions

As acidity increases pH _____?

decreases

Hydrogen ion concentration in the body is _______?

tightly regulated

Hydrogen ion concentration can determine __________ and shape of proteins

enzyme function

pH above 7.45

alkalosis

pH below 7.35

Acidosis

7.34-7.45 pH

arterial blood

4.5-8.0 pH

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

When the H ion imbalance is due to a non respiratory cause then ventilation is reflexly ____________?

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.

When plasma H+ ion concentration increases (acidosis) the kidney do not ?

excrete bicarbonate in the urine.

When the plasma H+ ion concentration decreases (alkalosis) for whatever reason the kidneys homeostatic response is to ?

excrete large quantities of bicarbonate.This increase plasma H+ ion concentration toward normal
