Normal arterial pH is 7.35 to 7. 45. Both metabolic and respiratory alkalosis have pH more basic compare to the normal arterial pH. The difference is 0.5 units. What is pH value in alkalosis? Niemann-Pick type C disease is a progressive neurological disease; symptoms include unsteady walking with uncoordinated limb movements, slurred speech, a difficulty in swallowing, epilepsy and tremor. This condition is due to the abnormal functioning of a lysosome. State the normal functions performed by this organelle.
The pH of human blood is buffered at 7.35 to 7.45. If the [OH-] of the blood sample is 6.3x10-6, calculate its pH value. Is the patient’s pH within the range?  Or is experiencing acidosis or alkalosis condition?
The normal pH of blood is 7.35-4.45. The normal pCO2 level is 35-45mmHg. John has blood work performed. His recorded pH is 7.1. His recorded PCO2 is 20mmHg. Based on this describe the acid base state of John. (ie, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis). Support your answer.
