Neutral pH

7.0

In humans normal arterial blood pH

7.4 (7.35-7.45)


Slightly alkalotic, slight base excess, slight HCO3- excess

Acid =

H+ which = protons

Charge

Increase H+ does what to pH

Decreases pH so it's more acidic/ less base

Decrease H+ does what to pH

Higher pH so less acid and more base

pH equations

pH=-log[H+]


Or


pH= [HCO3] / [paCO2]

Metabolic and respiratory parts that make up pH

Metabolic = HCO3 levels


Resp = paCO2 levels

How does the body deal w acid?

By using HCO3 buffers protons, takes away acid but leaves conjugate base - that has negative charge (aka an anion)

Kidney and HCO3

It is made by kidney but takes few days to make significant level, kidney also saves/re absorbs HCO3 to elevate levels

H2O and CO2- what happens to them in the body

Water/co2 are exhaled by lungs, some h2o is used by body, h2co3 (carbonic acid) an intermediate metabolite is present in very small concentrations, H+ is buffered (removed by proteins)

H2o + co2 <-> ______ <-> ______

Mhc

Major histocompatibility complex


Important in organ transplant


The better the match of similar antigens between recipient and donor, the less rejection of organ by recipient
