Acid base disorders

Question 1

There are 2 organs that regulate acid and base balance they are what?

Answer 1

Kidneys and lungs

Question 2

There are several acid base pairs to regulate acid base balance

Question 3

Respiratory regulation has to do with what organ?

Answer 3

the lungs

Question 4

What is the role of the lungs?
Breathe in oxygen
Breaths out what?

Answer 4

Lungs breathe out CO2 so carbon dioxide

Question 5

Answer 5

Its an acidic substance

Question 6

How do lungs regulate amount of CO2 in the body? by breathing out CO2

Question 7

Respiratory regulation (lungs)

Hyperventilation or hypoventilation

Question 8

_________ is slow breathing so you are going to retain more CO2 in the lungs

Answer 8

hypoventilation

Question 9

If your retaining more of the CO2 in hypoventilation if you measure the partial pressure of CO2 inside the body its going to increase so causing increased partial pressure of CO2

Question 10

_____________breathing very fast so breathing out more of the CO2

Answer 10

Hyperventilation

Question 11

Partial pressure of CO2 will decrease in hyperventilation

Question 12

Kidney regulation is mainly dealing with excretion of hydrogen ions and reabsorption of bicarbonate

Question 13

hydrogen ion is acidic

Question 14

bicarbonate is basic

Question 15

In respiratory regulation the brain will send a signal to control our breathing either your hyperventilating or hypoventilating that process is VERY _____!

Answer 15

Fast

Question 16

Kidney regulation is a slower process which is

Answer 16

over days for kidney regulation

Question 17

We have lungs and kidneys to regulate acid base balance and they create buffer systems
