Question
Chapter 25.6, Problem 21WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Acid-base disturbance and two substances within the blood that may be altered to cause a disturbance.
Introduction:
The process of respiration is associated with the maintenance of acid-base balance. The gaseous exchange between the environment and the respiratory organ maintains the ph balance of the blood. Under normal conditions, the ph of the blood is 7.34-7.45. This implies the blood is slightly alkaline.
