Interpretation:

Two reasons should be listed which causes the pH of the body to go above 7.45

Concept Introduction:

Alkalosis is the condition when the pH of the body is above the level of 7.45 and this condition is caused when there is an excessive buildup of the base or alkaline in the body or when there is very less acid in the body.
