Explain the blood ph , df , norm abnormality
-df:The blood pH • The pH of any fluid is the measure of the hydrogen ion (H*) concentration.
-norm : Normal level of the blood pH is 7,37-7,45
-abnormalities:
1-acidosis: 7.2
2-alkalosis : 7,47 and above
3-death : 7.0
What ph of blood depends on ?
1) acidic and alkaline foods;
2) metabolism state;
3) pathological factors.
Explain the buffer system
• A buffer is a chemical system that prevents a radical change in fluid pH by dampening the change in hydrogen ion concentrations in the case of excess acid or base. Most commonly, the substance that absorbs the ions is either a weak acid, which takes up hydroxyl ions, or a weak base, which takes up hydrogen
ions.
Explain the phosphate buffer systems
• Important in intracellular fluid and urine pH regulation
• Consists of two phosphate ions
- Monohydrogenphosphate ions act as a weak base and combine with hydrogen ions to form dihydrogenphosphate
- Dihydrogenphosphate dissociates to release hydrogen ions
Explain protein buffer system
• Abundant in intracellular fluids & in plasma
- hemoglobin very good at buffering H+ in RBCs
- albumin is main plasma protein buffer
• Amino acids contains at least one carboxyl group
(-COO) and at least one amino group (-NH2)
- carboxyl group acts like an acid & releases H+
- amino group acts like a base & combines with H+
- some side chains can buffer H+
• Hemoglobin acts as a buffer in blood by picking up Co2 or H+
Explain the Acid-base balancing by the kidney
—The response of the kidney to acid-base imbalances is governed by the relative magnitudes of proton secretion and HCO, filtration because these two factors affect the rates of acid and alkall excretion.
+If Pco2 rises, proton secretion becomes dominant and the kidney excretes acid, raising blood ph.
+ If [HCO3] rises, HCO, filtration increases and the kidney excretes alkali, reducing blood pH.
Explain the Gastrointestinal tract and liver function in regulation of ph
• 1) Secretion of HCL in stomach;
2) Secretion of NaHCO3 in the intestine;
3) Excretion of acidic and alkaline products with bile.
Explain classification of blood ph
-there is 2 classification:
• By type:
1) acidoses are conditions in which hydrogen ions are accumulated in the body and there is a tendency to acidification of the internal environment; there are:
a) respiratory acidosis;
b) metabolic acidosis.
2) alkaloses are conditions in which the level of hydrogen ions in the body is decreased and there is a tendency to alkalization of the internal environment, there are:
• by the degrees:
1- Compensated acidosis and alkalosis (pH-7.37-7.45)
2-• Subcompensated (alkalosis at pH 7.45-7.48; acidosis at pH 7.3-7.37)
3-• Uncompensated (alkalosis, pH > 7.48; acidosis pH<7.3).
Explain metabolic acidosis , causes , and diagnostics
-Causes of metabolic acidosis:
• ketoacidosis (an increase in ketone bodies blood level);
• lactic acidosis (increased lactic acid);
• intestinal acidosis (in case of diarrhea);
• glomerular acidosis (with renal failure);
• renal tubular acidosis (violation of the reabsorption of bicarbonates);
• taking medications (diacarb).
