31
Q

primary change in HCO3-

A

metabolic disorder

32
Q

primary change in CO2

A

respiratory disorder

33
Q

too much CO2 in the blood

A

34
Q

too little CO2 in the blood

A

alkalemia

35
Q

too much H+ and not enough HCO3-

A

metabolic acidosis

36
Q

too much HCO3- and too little H+

A

metabolic alkalosis

37
Q

(1st defense) ECF buffer defense against acid/base disorders

A

HCO3-; proteins; phosphate

38
Q

2nd defense against acid/base disorders

A

respiratory compensation (senses changes in CO2 and pH)

39
Q

(1st defense) ICF buffer defense against acid/base disorders

A

proteins, phosphate

40
Q

3rd defense against acid/base disorders

A

renal compensation (H+ or HCO3- secretion)

41
Q

an excess of H+ ion identified by reduction in ECF HCO3-

A

metabolic acidosis

42
Q

2 types of metabolic acidosis

A

high anion gap
