Normally the levels of bicarbonate and carbonic acid are maintained at a ratio of ____________.
20:1
Once the hemoglobin molecule has started binding with oxygen, its affinity for the succeeding oxygen molecules increases. This is known as the?
cooperative effects
An increased P50 means that the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen.
lowers
This is the ONLY condition that allows the Physician to do Arterial Blood Extraction:
cannulation of the vessel anticipated
Physiologic effects of alkalosis EXCEPT: • arrhythmias • increased neuromuscular excitability • increased bone resorption • inhibition of respiratory drive
increased bone resorption
This is NOT among the causes of Hypoventilation leading to Respiratory Acidosis: • neuromuscular disorders • disorders of the chest wall • acute airway obstruction. • chronic obstructive lung disease • acid volume contraction
acid volume contraction

This is NOT among the physiologic effects of acidosis:
hypokalemia
