Question | Answer |
---|---|
A substance that can release hydrogen (H+) ions. | Acid |
considered an acid. | Medically, CO2 |
Converts to carbaminohemoglobin + H + or | When CO2 enters blood: |
Converts to bicarbonate + H + or | When CO2 enters blood: |
Combines with water to form carbonic acid (H2 CO3 ) | When CO2 enters blood: |
Body metabolism – CO2 -13000 – 20000 mmol/day | Sources of Acids |
Protein metabolism | Sources of Acids |
Meat main metabolic source of H+ ions | Sources of Acids |

Measures acidity or alkalinity (base) of fluids | pH scale |
pH of 1 | Acid |
PH of 14 | Base |
PH of 7 | Neutral |
the lower the pH | The more H+ ions present |
pH 7.35 – 7.45 | Arterial blood pH |
pH 1.0 – 2.0 | Gastric fluid pH |
pH 7.0 – 8.0 | Small intestine pH |
pH 4.5 – 6.0 | Urine pH |
enzyme function | pH of blood must be maintained for: |
normal metabolism | pH of blood must be maintained for |
Buffer pairs – respond stat | Mechanisms to Control pH |
Respiratory System – within 1 – 3 minutes | Mechanisms to Control pH |
Kidneys – hours – days – but most potent | Mechanisms to Control pH |
CO2 + H2O is | When CO2 dissolves in H2O, it becomes carbonic acid -----H2CO3 |
HCO3 + H+ is | When bicarbonate picks up a H+ ion, it becomes carbonic acid |
Protein – e.g. carbaminohemoglobin | Buffer Pairs |
Phosphate – phosphates & hydrogen | Buffer Pairs |
Bone – bone carbonate | Buffer Pairs |
Respirations slow | Conserves CO2 to lower pH (more acid)---Respiratory System (more acid) |
Respirations rapid | Eliminates CO2 to raise pH (alkaline) |
Responds within 1 – 3 minutes to a change in blood pH | Respiratory System |
50 – 70% effective in restoring pH | Respiratory System |
May help correct an imbalance (compensation) | Respiratory System |
May be the cause of the pH change | Respiratory System |
Proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs bicarbonate | Renal Regulation |
Distal convoluted tubule secretes H+ | Renal Regulation |
Rids body of phosphoric acid, uric acid, lactic acid, ketone bodies | Renal Regulation |
Slow response – hours – days | Renal Regulation |
Very effective at correcting imbalance | Renal Regulation |
May be cause of pH change | Renal Regulation |
pH- 7.35 – 7.45 | Arterial Blood Gases |
paCO2 - 35 – 45 mmHg | Arterial Blood Gases |
HCO3 - 22 – 26 mEq/L | Arterial Blood Gases |
paO2 - 80 – 100 mmHg | Arterial Blood Gases |
SaO2 - 95 – 100% | Arterial Blood Gases |
acid - acidosis | pH - below 7.35 |
base - alkalosis | pH- above 7.45 |
too much CO2 - acid | paCO2 - > 45 |
not enough CO2 - base | - < 35 – |
too much bicarb - base | HCO3 - > 26 |
not enough bicarb - acid | - < 22 |
