Question
Chapter 15, Problem 21SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of the respiratory system in regulating acid–base balance.
Introduction:
Maintenance of the acid–base balance in the blood is important for the proper functioning of the cells. The optimum blood pH range is 7.3 to 7.45. The rise in blood pH above the normal range causes alkalosis, whereas the fall of blood pH is known as acidosis.
