Question
Chapter 22.3, Problem 15AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The normal blood pH; terms used for deviations of pH; CO2 imbalances which cause pH deviations, and the homeostatic regulation of blood pH.
Introduction:
The pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen (H+) ion concentration. The pH has a strong influence on respiration. Respiration is a process of ventilation where gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. The carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the blood is also a key factor that alters the pH of the blood. Homeostasis is a stable maintenance and regulation of the internal environment of an individual.

True or False: A decrease of plasma pH along with a decrease of plasma [CO2] is an
indicator of respiratory acidosis.
True
False

The "blowing off" of excessive carbon dioxide causes a decrease in blood H+ concentration. How can the carbonic acid buffering system function to correct this imbalance? CO2 + H2O → H2CO3 → H* + HCO3 O H2CO3 dissociates to form more H+ and raise pH. O HCO3- binds with H+ to form H2CO3 and raise pH. O H2CO3 dissociates to form more H+ and lower pH.
