7.4 - ✔✔What is the perfect pH balance in the human body?
7 - ✔✔Water has a pH balance of what?
meat and sugar - ✔✔What foods can kick our pH out of balance making us too acidic?
fruits and vegetables - ✔✔What foods can help regulate a normal pH balance?
eat something - ✔✔Acidity in our body changes everytime we ______________
1 - 6.9 - ✔✔What range is considered acidotic?
7.1 - 14 - ✔✔What range is considered alkalotic?
pH: 7.35 - 7.45
CO2: 35 - 45

buffers - ✔✔- Located throughout the body and soaks up hydrogen ions
- Can take or give depending on what is needed to maintain balance
, - Occurs within seconds
PaO2 - ✔✔- Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood
- Reflects the amount of O2 that is dissolved in the blood
