how does the process of exhalation influence the pH of blood, considering the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal in regulating acid-base balance? Discuss the physiological mechanisms involved in maintaining blood pH during exhalation, including the role of respiratory control centers and the relationship between CO2 levels, bicarbonate, (HCO3-), carbonic acid (H2CO3) formation, and pH changes in the bloodstream
Considering the body’s pH balance is impacted by oxygen intake, why would the pH balance of blood plasma increase with rapid breathing? Conversely, why would the pH balance of blood plasma decrease if a person holds their breath?
What effect is observed on the pH of the blood in each of the following cases? a. [HCO 3−] decreases.c. [CO 2] increases. b. [HCO 3−] increases.d. [CO 2] decreases.
Micky Mango is a 64-year-old male admitted to the emergency room for asthma. His laboratory results are as follows: pH 7.31, pCO2 higher than normal, and total HCO3– also higher than normal. Classify his acid-base balance as acidosis or alkalosis, and as metabolic or respiratory. Is there evidence of compensation? Propose the mechanism by which asthma contributed to the lab results seen.
During the treatment for COVID-19, one complication includes an increase of CO2 in the lungs. This buildup of CO2 can result in a serious condition called respiratory acidosis if the level of H+ significantly changes. If the pH drops by 1 unit, what has happened to the H+ concentration?
Carbonic anhydrase is an extremely efficient enzyme in red blood cells that performs the essential function of trapping C02 coming out of tissues and hydrating it with H,0. The product of this reaction is which dissociates into a proton and a (Hint: the reaction is H20 + CO2 +„H+ bicarbonate; carbonic acid carbonic acid; carbonate carbonate; carbonic acid carbonate; bicarbonate carbonic acid; bicarbonate
How does moderate to severe COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) often lead to chronic respiratory acidosis? How might the kidneys compensate for this i.e explain at least 2 mechanisms which the kidney may use to do so - be sure to include hormones, cells involved. If the H+/K+ ATPase is brought into service, how would the plasma K+ concentration be affected? Lastly, how would activation of H+/K+ ATPase counteract or synergize with the actions of aldosterone?
Which of the following statements regarding the role of the respiratory system in the acid-base status of the body is NOT TRUE? A. Non-volatile acids are excreted by ventilation B. Volatile acids are excreted by ventilation. OC. Hyperventilation can result in a respiratory alkalosis. D. Hypoventilation can result in a respiratory acidosis OE. Ventilation adjusts the PCO2-bicarbonate buffer system.
A client with multiple medical issues has the following ABG results: pH: 7.50 PCO2: 41 HCO3: 32 P02: 96 What is your interpretation of this result? O respiratory acidosis O metabolic acidosis metabolic alkalosis O respiratory alkalosis
Consider the cigarette smoke contain an average of 450 ppm carbon monoxide. If the average oxygen content in the air in the lungs is 19%, what percentage of the saturation level would the COHb concentration ultimately reach? Please provide the calculation
Suppose a person with a severe anxietyattack hyperventilates and exhales CO2faster than his body produces it. Considerthe carbonic acid reaction under “Classesof Chemical Reactions” in section 2.3, andexplain what effect this hyperventilationwill have on his blood pH. (Hint: Rememberthe law of mass action.)
The normal pH of blood is 7.35-4.45. The normal pCO2 level is 35-45mmHg. John has blood work performed. His recorded pH is 7.1. His recorded PCO2 is 20mmHg. Based on this describe the acid base state of John. (ie, metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis, respiratory acidosis, and respiratory alkalosis). Support your answer.
