(a)
Interpretation:
The given condition should be classified whether as a cause of respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis using the table 29.4.
Concept introduction:
The highly specific acid-base quality of various body fluid remains regulated within narrow limits because of high sensitivity of
Alkalosis is a term which refers to an increase in pH above the normal average of
Acidosis is a term which refers to an increase in

- Describe the control of blood carbonic acid levels through the respiratory system.arrow_forwardList five sources of hydrogen ions in body fluids, and name an acid that originates from each source.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true for Bohr effect: a. Bohr effect describes carbon monoxide poisoning. b. Bohr effect prevents oxygen binding to hemoglobin. c. Bohr effect allows effective oxygen discharge in tissues due to higher acidity (decreased pH) than in lungs. d. Bohr effect allows effective oxygen discharge in tissues due to lower acidity (increased pH) than in lungs.arrow_forward
- A high fever is likely to cause deep, rapid respirations,excessive perspiration, and higher metabolic rate. Howwould this affect the fluid and electrolyte balance in thebody?arrow_forwardMetabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic. Answer the following questions: How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance? What happens when that balance does not happen? Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?arrow_forwardExplain why respiration does not normally influence acid-base balance.arrow_forward
- Define both metabolic acidosis and metabolic alkalosis, identify some of the causes of each type of acid-base disturbance, and explain how each occurs.arrow_forwardWhich reaction does the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyze?arrow_forwardDefine the terms acidosis and alkalosis. Identify the two components of blood acid-base balance.arrow_forward
