Q

Impact of CO2 on acidity

A

More Basic - release more CO2

More acidic - exhale less CO2

Q

Kidney Regulation process

A

Regulated by nephron - secretes H+

Secretes or reabsorb HC)3-

Q

Kidney Response to ACIDOSIS

A

H+ secreted, then excreted in urine

HCO3- formed in nephron, reabsorbed

HCO3 removes H+ from blood - MAKES MORE BAISC

Q

Kidney response to ALKALOSIS

A

Less H+ secreted
Less HCO3 reabsoprtion
Excess HCO3 excreted in urine

16
Q

Impacts of Acidosis

A

Depression of CNS
Coma + Death
K+ leaves cells

17
Q

Acidosis - respiratory causes

A

Emphysema, pulmonary edema, medullary injuries

Anything that decreases movement of CO2 from blood to alveoli

18
Q

Respiratory Acidosis compensation

A

Kidneys - increase H+ secretion

HCO3- reabsorption

19
Q

Acidosis - metabolic causes

A

Loss in HCO3-
Diarrhea, kidney damage

Increase in H+
Ketosis-fat metabolism
Diabetes, fasting, starvation

20
Q

Metabolic acidosis compensation

A

Hyperventilation (respiratory)

21
Q

Impact of Alkalosis

A

Over excitability of CNS
increased synaptic transmission
Nervousness, spasms, convulsions

H+ diffuses out of cells
K+ goes in
Nerves, muslces overstimulated

22
Q

Causes of Respiratory Alkalosis

A

High altitude, O2 lack

Anxiety

23
Q

Kidney compensation for respiratory alkalosis

A

Decreased secretion of H+
Decreased reabsorption of HCO3-
Increased secretion of HCO3-

24
Q

Metabolic causes of Alkalosis

A

Vomting - loss of H+
