Chapter 25, Problem 40P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect on the pH of the blood when the concentration of the HCO3 decreases should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The pH of the blood is dependent upon many factors and these factors include the concentration of various ions, the metabolism rate etc. The pH of the blood should be in the optimum range for the efficient functioning of the body.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect on the pH of the blood when the concentration of the HCO3 increases should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The pH of the body is vital for the very important life-sustaining processes of the body. There is an optimal range of the pH and outside of this range, the body experiences major issues and these issues are experienced in many bodily procedures.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The effect on the pH of the blood when the concentration of the CO2 increases should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The pH of the body is very important and without an ideal pH there would be a variety of body processes effected. The pH depends upon various factors which include the concentration of various ions, metabolic reaction rate etc.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The effect on the pH of the blood when the concentration of the CO2 decreases should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

CO2 gas is really important in the maintenance of the pH as it dissolves in water to form the carbonic acid which maintains an equilibrium with bicarbonate ion. If the pH of the body is disturbed, the whole working of the body gets disturbed.
