Stack #97603

More acid/base homeostatis

QuestionAnswer
Chemical substances that donate hydrogen ion (H+) Acids
Chemical substances that accept hydrogen ion (H+) Bases
a measurement of the concentration of free ions in the body pH
Produced during exercise lactic acid
When H+ increases, acidity increases, pH decreases
When H+ decreases, acidity decreases, pH increases
Because there is more ______ _______, the pH of venous blood is slightly lower than arterial blood carbonic acid
The lower the pH, the more acid is present
pH of arterial blood 7.35-7.45
pH of venous blood 7.35
Interstitial fluid pH 7.35
pH of the stomach 1.2-3.0
The pH often increases after eating a large meal due to the buffering effect of the food
The pH of the small intestine is slightly basic because of The presence of bicarbonate ions
Based on diet and metabolic state, the pH of urine varies from 4.5-8.0
During acid-base homeostasis the pH of arterial blood is 7.35-7.45
strong acids release all of their H+ in water such as HCl
The stomach contains an aquaeous solution of HCl and is the only example of a _________ _______ in the body strong acid
Acids that release all of their H+ when dissolved in water strong acids
a weak acid H2CO3 = carbonic acid
When a weak acid is added to water it does not completely dissociate (ie carbonic acid pH=4.5)
dissociates The separation of acids, bases, and salts, when dissolved in water
Another weak acid released during exercise, but is a stronger weak acid than Carbonic acid lactic acid = pH 2.5
pH of HCl 1.0
Basic solutions are sometimes called Alkalines
While there are both strong and weak bases, only _______bases are found in the body weak bases
When water molecules lose H+, OH- (hydroxide) remains, which increases the pH

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
