Question
Chapter 27, Problem 8RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
pH of the body tissue is close to neutral. The factor that affects the pH of the tissue is the amount of carbon dioxide produced. Carbon dioxide is a gas that is involved in the formation of carbonic acid.

- What is the term for a fall in plasma pH that is predominantly caused by an inability to exhale sufficient carbon dioxide? A) Metabolic acidosis OB) Metabolic alkalosis 100 C) Respiratory acidosis D) Respiratory alkalosis W * 40°F 시 O Larrow_forwardWhen travelling high altitude, one of the problem is alkalosis of the blood. Remember the equation for acid balance: CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3− + H+ If there is a low amount of CO2 outside, then greater CO2 than normal will diffuse out of the lungs. This will cause the blood to become more basic. To counteract the problem, a drug may be taken to both lower the blood pressure and help correct the pH. To do this, it blocks a symporter of HCO3- and Na+ in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Q: How would blocking transport of HCO3- help to lower the pH of the blood?arrow_forward14) One of the feedback mechanisms for high H+ (low pH) levels in the blood is to increase respiratory rate. Explain why this helps to return blood pH to a neutral level (short answer please)arrow_forward
