Chapter 40 Exam 1 B

Chapter 40 Exam 1 Acid-Base

QuestionAnswer
acidosis is a proportionate deficit of bicarbonate in ECF Metabolic Acidosis
associated with excess of HCO3 bicarbonate, a decrease in H+ ions or both in the ECF Metabolic Alkalosis
a primary excess of carbonic acid in the ECF Respiratory Acidosis
primary deficit of carbonic acid in the ECF Respiratory Alkalosis
Chemoreceptors in the medullar sense the increase in pH and the presences of less carbonic acid and cause the body to breathe either slowly or less deeply Respiratory Alkalosis
Increase amounts of of CO2 stimulate the medulla in the respiratory center to increase the respiratory rate and CO2 is expelled, levels of CO2 are reduced Respiratory Acidosis
Body compensates by retaining CO2,Respirations become slow and shallow and periods of no breathing may occur, Kidneys attempt to excrete excess H2o and NA ions with the excessive bicarbonate and retain H+ ions Metabolic Alkalosis
Lungs attempt to increase the CO2 excretion by increasing the rate and depth of respirations which occurs within a short time Metabolic Acidosis
high PaCO2, hyperventilation respiratory alkalosis
low PaCO2, hypoventilation respiratory acidosis
pH <7.35, PaCO2 >45 mm Hg primary, HCO-3 normal or only slightly elevated Acute respiratory acidosis
pH <7.35 or low N Acid, PaCO2 >45 mm Hg primary Acid, HCO3- >26 mEq/L compensatory Base Chronic respiratory acidosis
pH > 7.45 Base, PaCO2 <35 mm Hg primary Base, HCO3- < 22 mEq/L compensatory Acid Respiratory Alkalosis (carbonic acid deficit)
pH < 7.35 Acid, HCO 3- < 22 mEq/L primary acid, PaCO2 < 35 mm HG Base Metabolic Acidosis (Base Bicarbonate Deficit)
pH >7.45 Base, HCO3- >26 mEq/L primary Base, PaCO2 > 45 mm Hg compensatory Acid Metabolic Alkalosis (Base Bicarbonate Excess)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
