Which of the following is the best way of describing respiratory compensation?

A change in the respiratory rate that helps stabilize the pH of the ECF.

If the partial pressure of CO2 rises in the blood, which of the following happens?

A decrease in pH

Which of the following is not consistent with rising CO2 levels?

Additional Na+ ions are released.

What is the term for a substance that opposes a change in pH in a solution and can either remove or replace hydrogen ions?

Buffer

Acidosis is a more common problem than alkalosis because many acids are the direct byproducts of metabolic reactions. Which of the following acids is not a metabolic acid?

Carbonic acid

Which of the following is NOT a cause of hyperkalemia?

Decreased blood volume

Which of the following occurs when an individual loses body water?

Plasma volume decreases, and electrolyte concentrations rise.

What is meant by the term metabolic water?

Water generated during oxidative phosphorylation

Which of the following is NOT a basic principle for understanding fluid and electrolyte balance?

Water moves into and out of cells by active transport.

As a result of the aging process, the ability to regulate pH through renal compensation changes due to

a reduction in the number of functional nephrons

Angiotensin II produces a coordinated elevation in the extracellular fluid volume by all of the following mechanisms except

causing the release of ADH

Extracellular fluids in the body consist of all of the following except

cytosol

Deviations outside of the normal pH range due to increases in hydrogen ion concentrations would do all of the following except

decrease the rate of respiration

Sodium ions enter the ECF by crossing the digestive epithelium via

diffusion and active transport

Severe acidosis (blood pH below 7.0) can be deadly for all of the following reasons except

hyperventilation leading to a lack of oxygen to critical tissues

Whenever the rate of sodium intake or output changes, there is a corresponding gain or loss of water that tends to

keep the sodium concentration constant

A loss of bicarbonate ions can lead to

metabolic acidosis

Chronic diarrhea causes a severe loss of bicarbonate ions, resulting in

metabolic acidosis

Prolonged vomiting and loss of stomach acid causes

metabolic alkalosis

A effects of both respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis are especially serious in cases of

near drowning

A metabolic alkalosis can be due to

prolonged vomiting

Ketone bodies accumulate in the blood during are associated with

starvation

Ketone bodies accumulate in the blood during are associated with __________.

starvation

The hemoglobin buffer system helps prevent drastic alterations in pH when

the plasma PCO2 is rising or falling

Which of the following is NOT a response in the regulation of acute respiratory acidosis?

HCO3- ions are secreted into the urine.

The major causes of metabolic acidosis include all of the following except?

Hypercapnia

In which of the following would water represent the highest percentage of body weight?

Male infant

Respiratory acidosis

What would happen if you ate a large quantity of salty potato chips without drinking anything?

Secretion of ADH would increase.

Which of the following does not occur when the pH increases (become more basic)?

The carboxylate ion can act as a weak base and accept additional H+ ions.

What is required for the body to be in acid-base balance?

The production of hydrogen ions is exactly offset by their loss.
