The more H± concentration the more ______
Acidic
Blood PH for Acidosis / Alkalosis
Acidosis = ph less than 7.35
Alkalosis = ph greater than 7.45
What is the regulation of H± hydrogen ion concentration called?
Acid-Base balance
Explain respiratory mechanism of pH control
Amount of blood carbon dioxide is directly related to amount of carbonic acid and concentration of H+
