Chapter 25, Problem 1CRQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the statement “Metabolic acidosis develops when a large number of hydrogen ions are removed from body fluids, resulting in an increase in pH” is true or false.

Introduction: The body consists of a large number of fluids in the form of blood, lymph, mucus, and saliva. The pH of such fluids has to be maintained by various processes in the body to prevent any disruption in the activity of the tissues or damage to the membrane of the body.

Answer to Problem 1CRQ

Correct answer: The given statement “Metabolic acidosis develops when a large number of hydrogen ions are removed from body fluids, resulting in an increase in pH” is false.

Explanation of Solution

Metabolic acidosis is the condition when there is an accumulation of hydrogen ions inside the body due to inability of the body to remove excess hydrogen ions through the excretory system, which results in a decrease in the pH of the body fluids. This can occur due to loss of bicarbonate ions in diarrhea, type I diabetes, and excess gastric acid secretion.

Hence, metabolic acidosis develops when a large number of hydrogen ions accumulate in body fluids, resulting in a decrease in pH.
