acidosis vs. alkalosis

Question 1

respiratory acidosis is always associated with

Answer 1

high CO2

Question 2

cause of respiratory acidosis

Answer 2

decreased ventilation, severe asthma

Question 3

compensation for respiratory acidosis

Answer 3

kidneys secrete more H+ and reabsorb more HCO3-

Question 4

respiratory alkalosis is associated with

Answer 4

low CO2

Question 5

cause of respiratory alkalosis

Answer 5

increased ventilation (high altitude)

Question 6

compensation for respiratory alkalosis

Answer 6

kidneys secrete less H+, reabsorbs less HCO3-

Question 7

metabolic acidosis is always associated with

Answer 7

low HCO3-

Question 8

cause of metabolic acidosis

Answer 8

kidney failure - no reabsorption of HCO3-
diarrhea - loss of HCO3-
exercise - produce lactic acid

Question 9

compensation for metabolic acidosis

Answer 9

increased ventilation - decrease CO2 - decrease H+

Question 10

metabolic alkalosis is always associated with

Answer 10

high HCO3-

Question 11

cause of metabolic alkalosis

Answer 11

abuse of antacids
vomiting - loss of H+

Question 12

compensation for metabolic alkalosis

Answer 12

decrease ventilation - increased CO2 - increased H+

Question 13

increase in H+ causes a

Answer 13

decreased in pH

Question 14

how does the renal system create HCO3-

Answer 14

breakdown glutamine into NH4+ and HCO3-

Question 15

what does H+ bind with during excretion of acids

Answer 15

phosphate buffer
- stops urine from being too acidic

Question 16

acidosis is

Answer 16

high H+

Question 17

alkalosis is

Answer 17

low H+
