Question
Chapter 25.4, Problem 2QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the main focus of the body acid–base mechanisms on acids.
Introduction:
The pH (potential of hydrogen) of body fluids ranges between 7.35 and 7.45. The balance between acid and bases in the body are maintained by the buffer system, respiratory system, and urinary system. The acids and bases come from diet and

What provides the shortest-term mechanism for preventing acid-base imbalances in the body? The longest-term mechanism?
Metabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic.
Answer the following questions:
How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance?
What happens when that balance does not happen?
Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?
Three systems of the body help regulate acid/base balance - buffer system, respiratory system and renal system. Describe the renal response in a person experiencing metabolic alkalosis due to severe vomiting. Provide the general formula for pH control in acid/base regulation.
