#3
Front (Question)

Compensation

Back (Answer)

Respiratory compensated by metabolic Metabolic compensated by respiratory

#4
Front (Question)

Why is the maintenance of pH important?

«_space;7.2 or»_space; 7.6

#6
Front (Question)

Rate and Depth of Respiration is caused by changes in ______.

Back (Answer)

CO2

#7
Front (Question)

The main purpose of acid-base balance is to

Back (Answer)

Maintain normal concentrations of H+

#8
Front (Question)

What are the parameters of acid base balance?

Back (Answer)

pH, pCO2, and HCO3

#9
Front (Question)

Acid base balance is achieved mostly through the actions of these two organs:

Back (Answer)

Lungs and kidneys.

#10
Front (Question)

Reference range for pCO2

Back (Answer)

45 - 35

#11
Front (Question)

Metabolic compensation helps with _____ problems

Back (Answer)

Respiratory

#12
Front (Question)

The largest buffer in blood is

Back (Answer)

Bicarbonate

#13
Front (Question)

How does the kidney maintain HCO3 homeostasis?

Back (Answer)

Excretes HCO3 if high, retains HCO3 if low.

#14
Front (Question)

Henderson-Hasselbach Equation

Back (Answer)

pH = pKa + log ( HCO3 / pCO2 )

Constricts

#19
Front (Question)

pH sensors sense H+ produced by _____.

Back (Answer)

H2CO3 –> HCO3 + H+

#20
Front (Question)

First line of defense in blood gas imbalance.

Back (Answer)

Buffers remove or release H+

#21
Front (Question)

Second line of defense in blood gas imbalance.

Back (Answer)

Lungs eliminate or retain CO2

#22
Front (Question)

Third line of defense in blood gas imbalance.

Back (Answer)

Kidneys retain HCO3 reducing fixed acids and elimination of H+
