Respiratory acidosis compensation

Answer 0

1. Chemical buffers taking up additional H+

2. The kidneys reabsorb bicarbonate ions and eliminate H+ by tubular secretion

Question 1

Respiratory acidoses

Answer 1

• arises from increases co2
• can occur from hypoventilation
• the respiratory system is impaired and cannot respond

Question 2

Respiratory alkalosis

Answer 2

• occurs by the excessive loss of co2 from the body

- by hyperventilation

Question 3

Respiratory alkalosis compensations

Answer 3

1. Chemical buffers liberating H+
2. Hyperventilation does not continue
3. The kidneys conserve and excrete more bicarbonate ions
