202 - Acid-Base Balance, a Flashcards
carbon dioxide is ________ acid
respiratory
lactic and keto-acids are _______ acids
metabolic
alkaline is another way to say . . .
basic
sodium bicarbonate and phosphate, proteins (hemoglobin), ammonia in the urine are all examples of . . .
buffers
sodium chloride is not a buffer, but sodium bicarbonate is, this is because HCl is a _____ acid and H2CO3 is a _____ acid
strong; weak
typically the body has too much acid, unless someone’s a . . .
vegetarian
carbon dioxide is typically blown off in the ____
lungs
incomplete oxidation of carbs and fatty acids produces _______ acids that can’t be blown off by the lungs
metabolic
lactic acid accumulation (exercise or circ. shock) due to inadequate oxygen delivery is known as ______ ________
lactic acidosis
accumulation of acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxy butyric acid (due to diabetes mellitus) due to accelerated fat metabolism, results in _______ __________
diabetic ketoacidosis
metabolism of dietary proteins and phospholipids and nucleic acids produces acids that CAN / CANNOT be blown off by the lungs
cannot
the chemical buffers, lungs, and kidneys all do what?
stabilize pH
4 chemical buffer systems
phosphate (body), proteins (body), bicarbonate-carbon dioxide (body and respiratory), ammonia (urine)
cannot protect body from CO2 changes, only functions when respiratory system is working, limited by amiability of its ions are limitations of the . . . buffer system
bicarbonate-carbon dioxide buffer system
place of action of buffer systems:
- phosphate
- proteins
- bicarbonate-carbon dioxide
- phosphate - body fluids
- proteins - body fluids
- bicarbonate-carbon dioxide - respiratory / body fluids
