Introduction:

The blood's acid-base balance is categorized into metabolic and respiratory components. The lungs carry out the regulation of the respiratory component. The respiratory component maintains the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. The ventilation is adjusted to keep the normal concentration of arterial carbon dioxide with respect to the rate of metabolism. The respiratory component is categorized further into hypoventilation and hyperventilation.
