Chapter 30-Acid-Base Balance

QuestionAnswer
Acid-Base balance is the most important of the bodys ____ -homeostatic mechanisms -Regulates pH at a cellular level
What do ACid-base balance regulate? hydrogen ions(H+) concentration in body fluids.
Acidosis describes artierial blood pH of ___ than 7._ _? Less; 7.35
Alkalosis describes artierial blood pH of ___ than 7._ _? Greater; 7.45
Electrolytes that ionize in water and release hydrogen ions are____? Acids
Substances that combine with Hydrogen ions are____? Bases
What do Acid-base balance entail in regulations of hydrogen ions? Concentration of body fluids
Irregular concentration of body fluids can lead to ______? alterating rates of enzymes-controlled metabollic reaction, shift the distribution of other ions, or modify hormone action; change of pH can change shape
What is internal environment maintained at pH btwn _____? 7.35-7.45
Strong acids ionize more completely and release more ___. hydrogen ions; H+
Weak acids ionize less completely and release fewer ___. Hydrogen ions: H+
Strong bases ionize more completely and release more OH-
Weak bases ionize less completely and release fewer ___. OH-
Normal metabolism produces more ____ than ____. -acid; than bases
What are the 3 Chemical pH control mechanisms & what kind of buffers are they? They are rapid-action buffers: 1.Bicarbonate Buffer system 2.Phosphate buffer system 3.Protein Buffer system
What are the 2 Physiological pH control mechanisms & what kind of buffers are they?how long (min/hrs) are the response? delayed-action buffers. 1.respiratory response (1-2 mins response) 2.Renal response (24 hr response)
ways to maintain homeostasis in pH control is _____? buffers, respiration, kidney excretion of acids and bases
Buffers are ___? -Chemical substances that prevent a marked change in pH of a solution when an acid or base is added to it. -exists in pairs -control homeostatic stability
Hemoglobin provides___? oxygen to blood
What is the base/acid ratio? 20:1; sodium bicarbonate to bicarbonic acid 20 parts to 1 part hydrogen ion; normal range of our bodies to sustain homeostasis
body cannot maintain noraml pH witout adequate functionoing of the _____ and _______- mechanisms. Respiratory; urinary pH control
When is it too Acidotic? when theres too much hydrogen ions
We breath in ____ and breath out____. oxygen; carbon dioxide.
The concentration of H+ relates to? amount of blood carbon dioxide (CO2) directly relates to the amount of carbonic acid
With increased respirations, less___ remains in blood, hence less ____ ___ and fewer ___, with _______ respirations, more C02 remains in blood, hence more ________ and _____. C02;carbonic acid; H+; decreased; carbonic acid; H+
Respiration adjustmentt to counter pH imbalnace of _________. arterial blood.
When slow breathing occurs what do we consume more of____ which leads to too much ______ which then leads to ______ which then leads to_____? CArbon dioxide; carbonic acid; hydrogen ions;
Acidosis results from the _______? -accumulation of acids or loss of bases, both of which cause abnorml increases in the hydrogen ion concentrations of body fluids.
Alkalosis results from ________? -a loss of acids or an accumalation of bases accompanied by a decrease in hydrogen ion concentrations.
2 major types of acidosis are ? Respiratory acidosis and metablic acidosis
What is Resp. acidosis caused from?Example? accumulation of carbon dioxide. ex: injury in brain can decrease airway intake of breathing.
Respiratory alkalosis develops as a result of _____? Hyperventilation
Metabolic alkalosis results from a ? great loss of hydrogen ions or from a gain in bases, both accompanied by a rise in the pH of blood.
What are some examples of causes that relate to Alkalosis? Anxiety, fever
When u hyperventilate what are you getting rid of? Carbon dioxide because your breathing too fast releasing CO2..
What does Carbon Dioxide lead to? Low Carbonic acid (H2C03)= low H+ and high pH (body is alkalosis)
How do you treat hyperventilation? breathing in a bag to regain CO2 thats breathing out.
