Summary Introduction

To determine: The three reasons for monitoring and regulating the pH of ECF.

Introduction: The different metabolic processes work to maintain homeostasis in the body. The mechanism like the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system maintains the fluid balance in the body by regulating different organs system like the urogenital system, acid-base mechanisms, cardiovascular system, and nervous system.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The three mechanism taken by body to cope up with change in the pH.

Introduction: Certain elements are essential for the functioning of the body as they play an important role in the composition of various biomolecules like protein, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, and lipids. Some elements are present in traces as they are not required in large quantities by the body. The electrolytes help in the regulation of acid-base balance in the body.

pH regulation: Describe the specific mechanisms by which respiratory and renal physiology utilize CARBONIC ANHYDRASE to regulate BLOOD pH.    You will need to: describe the full equation, the relevant locations in which it occurs, the mechanisms of regulation, and the impact on blood pH
Consider the effect of a twofold increase in the ECF concentration of Na+ or K+ ions. Which increase in ion concentration is the more deadly and why?
given the pCO2 and pH of systemic arterial blood, be able to identify the type of acid-base imbalance (respiratory acidosis, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis). After identifying the type of acid-base imbalance, be able to determine what type of compensation will occur to restore pH
