Question
Chapter 27, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
pH of the body tissue is close to neutral. The factor that affects the pH of the tissue is the amount of carbon dioxide produced. Carbon dioxide is a gas that is involved in the formation of carbonic acid.

What is the general amount of time required to maintain pH by (a) the chemical buffering systems, (b) the respiratory system, and (c) the kidneys?
A high fever is likely to cause deep, rapid respirations,excessive perspiration, and higher metabolic rate. Howwould this affect the fluid and electrolyte balance in thebody?
drugs known as potassium-sparing diuretics work by blocking the effects of aldosterone on the kidney. what effect would these drugs have on the amount of urine produced, on the blood pressure, and on potassium ion concentration in the blood? could these drugs have a negative impact on the acid-base balance of the body? explain.
