under normal circumstances, during respiratory acidosis the chemoreceptors monitoring the PCO2 of the plasma and CSF will eliminate the problem by calling for _______________.
an increase in pulmonary ventilation rates
if the partial pressure of CO2 rises in the blood, which of the following happens?

decrease the rate of respiration
deviations outside of the normal pH range due to increases in hydrogen ion concentration would do all of the following except _____________.
decrease the rate of respiration
which of the following might be a response to respiratory acidosis?
increased respiratory rate
When a normal pulmonary response does NOT reverse respiratory acidosis, the kidneys respond by __________.

metabolic alkalosis
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.
which of the following descriptions is correct?
