Term
| The chemical symbol for bicarbonate is ______ |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Chemical symbol for carbonic acid is _______ |
|

|
|
Term
| An increase in respirations causes an increased elimination of CO2 which causes pH to _____ |
|
Definition
increase. Increase of CO2 causes the acid base balance to increase H+ which means it becomes alkalytic |
|
|
Term
| Respiratory acidosis is caused by _______ |
|
Definition
abnormal retention of CO2 in the lungs or respiratory center of brain. |
|
|
Term
Increased respiration and excess elimination of CO2 causes ________ |
|
Definition
Respiratory Alkalosis decrease in CO2 causes decrease in H+; which increases pH |
|
|
Term
Dehydration, DM and medication usage can cause ________ |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Metabolic acidosis is caused by _______ |
|
Definition
| an increase of metobolic acids that consume bicarbonate ions |
|
|
Term
| Compensation for metabolic acidosis begins with an increase in _______ |
|
Definition
Respirations Low pH is low H, Low H causes low CO2 -> increased respirations |
|
|
Term
| In metabolic alkalosis the pH is ______ and CO2 level is _____. |
|
Definition
