Acid base imbalance
acids and bases basics and imbalances
Question | Answer |
---|---|
chemical buffer system (fastest) | bicarbonate- buffers blood and interstitial fluid |
chemical buffer system (faster) | phosphate- reacts with acids and bases to form compunds that alter pH, especially effective in the renal tubules |
chemical buffer system (fast) | acts inside and outside the cell, binds with acids and bases to neutralize them |
respiratory buffer | 2nd. responds to pH changes in inutes, makes temp adjustments, regulates carbon dioxide levels in the blood by varying the rate and depth of breathing, compensates with deep breathing |
kidneys buffer | makes long term adjustments to ph, reabsorb acids and bases, produce bicarbonate and regulate production |
H ion increases= ____ ph = ____ | decreased ph, acidosis |
H ion decreases= ____ ph= ____ | increased ph, alkalosis |
