Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Respiratory acidosis is excess acidity caused by respiratory conditions such as pneumonia or emphysema.

Answer: B
 pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution.

Answer: C
 A buffer is a substance that helps to stabilize the pH of a solution.

Answer: D
 An acid is a substance that has a pH value below 7.

Answer: E
 Alkalosis is excess basicity, with a pH value above 7.

Answer: F
 The chloride shift is a process where chloride ions move across the membrane of a red blood cell to balance the pH.

Answer: G
 Acidosis is a condition in which the blood pH drops below 7.35.

Answer: H
 Metabolic alkalosis is a condition in which the blood pH increases above 7.45 due to a buildup of bicarbonate ions.

Answer: I
 Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which the blood pH drops below 7.35 due to a buildup of acid.

Answer: K
 Respiratory alkalosis is a condition in which hyperventilation causes a decrease in carbon dioxide levels, resulting in excess basicity.
