35-45
arterial BG: HCO3
calculated value
24-29
venous BG: pH
7.31-7.41
arterial BG: PvCO2
the partial pressure of CO2 in vein
41-51
BMP: serum CO2
= HCO3 level
24-29
strong acids
dissociate completely in solution
weak acids
dissociate partially
hydrogen is important bc
-maintains cell membranes
-helps w/ enzyme activity
-H2O
-helps in energy production
