Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
pH   index of acidity or alkalinity of the blood  
🗑
blood gases   body's mechanism to maintain acid-base balance  
🗑
acidosis   metabolic state that leads to acidema  
🗑
alkalosis   metabolic state that leads to alkaemia  
🗑
normal pH   7.35-7.45  
🗑
acid   substance that can yield a hydrogen ion or hydronium ion when dissolved in water  
🗑
base   substance that will yield a hydroxyl(OH-) ion when dissolved in water  
🗑
K value   relative strenth of acids and bases and their ability to dissociate in water  
🗑
buffer   combination of a weak acid or base and its salt so that it resists changes in pH.  
🗑
pCO2   measurement of tension or pressue of carbon dioxide dissolve in blood  
🗑
pCO2 reference range   35-45mmHg  
🗑
pO2   meansurement of tension or pressure of oxygen dissolved in blood  
🗑
pO2 reference range   80-110mmol/L  
🗑
decreased pO2 is seen in...   decreased pulmanary ventilation  
🗑
acid-base balance   maintenance of H+; increased H+, decreased pH; decreased H+, increased pH  
🗑
bicarbonate-carbonic acid   buffer in highest concentration in plasma  
🗑
Henderson-Hasselbalck equation   relates pH, HCO3, pCO2  
🗑
hemoglobin buffer   transports acid from tissues to lungs  
🗑
phosphate buffer   intracellular buffer  
🗑
albumin/other proteins   buffers system that binds H+ because of net negative charge  
🗑
respiratory acid-base disorder   caused by ventilatory dysfunction  
🗑
metabolic acid-base disorder   caused by renal dysfunction  
🗑
compensation   body's attempt to restore acid-base balance  
🗑
fully compensated   body pH has returned to normal range  
🗑
partially compensated   body pH is approaching normal range  
🗑
metabolic acidosis   decrease pH and decreased HCO3-  
🗑
metabolic alkalosis   increase pH and increased HCO3-  
🗑
respiratory acidosis   decrease pH and increased CO2  
🗑
respiratory alkalosis   increase pH and decreased CO2  
🗑
anion gap   eastimate of unmeasured anions and cations  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
