Question
Answer
4 Common Causes of Respiratory Acidosis   Asthma Bronchitis Obesity Sedatives/ Anesthetics  
🗑
Buffers and the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation   -Resists changes in pH -Weak acid + Conjugate base; Most effective in pH range closely surrounding pKa of the acid; -pH= pKa+log[A]/[HA]  
🗑
Lungs and Kidneys working together on pH   -Lungs control carbon dioxide and can raise or lower via hypo/hyperventilation if kidneys fail or aren’t performing properly –Kidneys control Carbonate (HCO3) and can also compensate for lungs if not functioning properly, but takes longer  
🗑
Effect on pH of increased [H]   -pH is decreased –pH=log[H] or 1/[H]  
🗑
3 common causes of respiratory alkalosis   -Anxiety/Pain –High Altitude –Mechanical hyperventilation  
🗑
pH > pKa pH < pKa pH = pKa   -Base form predominates –Acid form predominates –[A]=[HA]; 50% acid dissociated  
🗑
Buffers and the pH of blood and interior of cell   Blood=CO2/Bicarbonate (pH:7.35-7.45) – CO2 g <> CO2 d + H2O <> H2CO3 <> H + HCO3 -*Hemoglobin also acts as a buffer Cell= Organic phosphate (pH: 6.9-7.4; avg pH 7.1) *inorganic phosphate model H3PO4H2PO4<7.2>HPO4<12.6>PO4  
🗑
pH of Blood when OH is added/decreased and when H is added/taken away   -Addition of OH and H effect [HCO3] – Adding OH increases [HCO3], increasing pH and vice versa – Adding H decreases [HCO3], decreasing pH and vice versa * 1 HCO3 consumed per H added  
🗑
Open system used to buffer blood (H-H of blood)   CO2 and H2CO3 <> H + HCO3 are controlled independently –concentration of one does not affect the other in a direct way –pH change is less dramatic *pH-610 + log[HCO3]/[CO2 d]  
🗑
Hypoventilation vs Hyperventilation   -hypoventilation slows respiratory rate, raising Pco2 and lowering pH –hyperventilation increases respiratory rate, lowering Pco2 and raising pH  
🗑
CO2 and HCO3 acid-base imbalances and the process of occurrence   -CO2 imbalances=respiratory acidosis and alkalosis –HCO3 imbalances= Metabolic acidosis and Alkalosis – Alkalemia= process of raising the pH –Acidemia= process of lowering the pH  
🗑
4 common causes of metabolic alkalosis   -Acute alkali administration (antacids) –Vomiting –Gastric aspiration –Diuretics  
🗑
3 common causes of metabolic acidosis   -Renal failure –Methanol poisoning –Diabetic ketoacidosis  
🗑


   

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.
