Acid Base balance Flashcards
Blood Ph
7.45-7.35
Alkalinity
Ph higher than 7.0
Acidity
Ph less than 7.0
Responds almost right away, lessons effect of acids and bases
Chemical buffer system
Increase respiration, response is controlled by the brainstem
Alkosis
Slower to act, most effective regulator of blood Ph
Renal system
pH is less than 7.35, causes pulmonary disease involving alveoli, or airways, splinting or immoblity
Respiratory Acidosis
pH is greater than 7.45, causes; hyperventilation, hyper-metabolic states
Respiratory Alkalosis
pH is less than 7.35, causes; exsessive metabolic acids(starvation, ketiacudisus, diabetic), inablity to excrete acid (renal failure)
Metabolic Acidosis
pH is greater than 7.45 causes; loss of metabolic acids (vomiting), excessive inatke
Metabolic Alkalosis
