What is it called when blood pH is below what it should be?
Considering the body’s pH balance is impacted by oxygen intake, why would the pH balance of blood plasma increase with rapid breathing? Conversely, why would the pH balance of blood plasma decrease if a person holds their breath?
A newborn exhibits signs of respiratory distress due to the lack of surfactant. She has signs of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide.
What will happen with pH balance and what type of acid-base disorder might she develop and how would her body compensate? Be detailed in your explanation.

- Why would a deviation in blood pH result in death?arrow_forwardCarbon dioxide dissolved in body fluids has a pronounced effect on pH.(a) Does pH go up or down when carbon dioxide dissolves in these fluids? Does this change indicate higher or lower acidity?(b) What does a blood gas analysis measure?arrow_forwardHarry ate a late meal at a cheap diner on the way home from work.A couple of hours later, he vomited three times, and then he consumed several packages of an antacid (mostly NaHCO3) over thenext several hours. By the evening of the next day, he was feelingbetter. During this ordeal, his blood pH did not deviate significantly.Select the mechanism(s) that helped maintain Harry’s pH within anormal range.(1) increased respiratory rate(2) increased H+ secretion by the renal tubule(3) decreased respiratory rate(4) decreased H+ secretion by the renal tubulea. 1 b. 2 c. 1,2 d. 3 e. 3,4arrow_forward

What has stimulated him to breathe harder? What effect does this have on Pco2? What change in blood pH can occur? Why? Does more or less oxygen reach the brain? Explain.arrow_forwardDuring the treatment for COVID-19, one complication includes an increase of CO2 in the lungs. This buildup of CO2 can result in a serious condition called respiratory acidosis if the level of H+ significantly changes.

- Solutions conduct electricity, if there are charged particles or ions present. Our body contains ions, too. Thus, solution containing ions are called electrolytes. Why do you feel thirsty after playing or working outside? Sometimes, you suffer from cramps or headaches, in extreme cases, you may even experience vomiting and nausea. These are symptoms of electrolyte imbalance in the body. Suggest ways or recommendations that can be given to a person who experience electrolyte imbalance.arrow_forwardA high fever is likely to cause deep, rapid respirations,excessive perspiration, and higher metabolic rate.
