Acid base balance:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| examples of gaining H+ | from CO2 in tissue via aerobic respiration, metabolism of protein and other organic molecules, due to loss of HCO3- in diarrhoea and due to loss of HCO3- in urine |
| examples of losing H+ | through lungs (H+ + HCO3- -> H2O + CO2 where CO2 out lungs), utilisation of H+ in metabolism of organic anions, loss of H+ in vomitus, and loss of H+ in urine |
