Acid neutralises excess bicarbonate, and the lungs inhale CO₂ as they hyperventilate
Bicarbonate neutralises acid, and the lungs inhale CO₂ as they hyperventilate
Acid neutralises excess bicarbonate, and the lungs expire CO₂ as they hyperventilate
Bicarbonate neutralises acid, and the lungs expire CO₂ as they hyperventilate
Bicarbonate neutralises acid, and the lungs cannot compensate
