🗑
buffers   show
🗑
show measured as CO2  
🗑
acid-base homeostasis   show
🗑
show primary system, 50% of activity, to maintain balance l/t have to also use protein and phosphate buffer systems, 1-2 hours to kick in, bicarb is the major ECF buffer

alkaline environment   show
🗑
>>> Respiratory buffer system, carbonic acid   show
🗑
respiratory buffer system, breathing changes   show
🗑
renal buffer system: time and effectiveness   show
🗑
show primary renal component, can be absobed as needed, combines HCl with ammonia to make ammonium, which is easily excreted by kidneys into urine  
🗑
show regulatory mechanism to return pH to normal level by transforming acids and bases within the body  
🗑
show causes a respiratory compensation  
🗑
show causes an acute metabolic response  
🗑
show pH is fully corrected (normal)  
🗑
partial compensation   show
🗑
show *negative logarithm of H+ ion concentration in mEq/L (as H+ ion concentration increases, pH decreases)*normal values 7.35 -7.45 (less is acidotic, more is alkalotic)

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.
