PH Alkalosis And Acidosis

Question 1

What does metabolic acidosis cause

Answer 1

Kidneys that can’t remove ketones

Metabolites Of fat

Question 2

What does respiratory acidosis cause

Answer 2

High co2 in blood = blood PH decreases

Question 3

Define metabolic alkalosis

Answer 3

Increase of tissue PH due to

Decreased hydrogen ion concentration or increased bicarbonate concentrations

Question 4

Define respiratory alkalosis

Answer 4

Caused by increased RR
Pneumonia
StrokeFever
Pregnancy
Meningitis

Question 5

At what level does alkalosis cause uncontrollable and sustained skeletal muscle contractions

Answer 5

7.8

Question 6

What numbers represent basicity and acidosis on the PH scale

Answer 6

Less than 7= acidosis. More hydrogen ions than hydroxide

More than 7= alkalosis. More hydroxide ions than hydrogen

Question 7

Define an acid

Answer 7

Electrolytes that release their hydrogen ions in water

Hydrochloric acid

Question 8

Define a base

Answer 8

Electrolytes that release ions that bond with hydrogen ions

Sodium hydroxide

Question 9

Define a buffer

Answer 9

Chemicals that resist Ph changes
They combine with hydrogen ions when these ions are excessive
They contribute hydrogen ions when they are reduced

Question 10

Define ph

Answer 10

Level of acidity or basicity

Measurement of hydrogen ion concentration

Question 11

What are electrolytes

Answer 11

Substances that release ions in water

Question 12

What are electrically charged particles

Answer 12

Ions
