Highlight the letter of the Answer that corresponds to the displayed Question.
1. What do acid base imbalances present as?
A: Acidosis: depression of CNS - coma. Alkalosis: excitability of nervous tissue (spasms, convulsions, death).
B: grams of solute in one mL of solution.
C: Acts as extracellular and intracellular system. At pH of 7.4, the bicarbonate ion to carbonic acid
D: Intracellular. Extracellular.
2. Describe isotonic.
A: Blood bicarbonate is high. Cause is a non-respiratory loss of acid (vomit, diuretics, dehydration, intake of
B: solutions are equal on opposite sides of membrane. Red blood cell is normal.
C: Accepts hydrogen ions in solution.
D: 1/3 intravascular. 2/3 interstitial.
3. Describe metabolic alkalosis.
A: 1/3 intravascular. 2/3 interstitial.
B: Intracellular. Extracellular.
C: Excretion of hydrogen in urine is the only way to eliminate huge excess. Kidneys make bicarbonate and
D: Blood bicarbonate is high. Cause is a non-respiratory loss of acid (vomit, diuretics, dehydration, intake of
4. Define hydrostatic pressure.
A: Pressure exerted by the movement or mass of water.
B: pH 7.35 - 7.45. PCO2 35-45 mmHg. PO2 80-100 mmHg. HCO3 22-28 mEq/L.
C: ~7.35
D: ~6 - 7.35
5. Define a base/alkali.
A: Accepts hydrogen ions in solution.
B: Abundant in intracellular fluids and in plasma. Amino acids contains at least one carboxyl group and one
C: 1/3 intravascular. 2/3 interstitial.
D: grams of solute in one mL of solution.
6. Describe the protein buffer system.
A: Thirst. Autonomic Nervous System: sympathetic response. Hormonal response: antidiuretic hormone,
B: Abundant in intracellular fluids and in plasma. Amino acids contains at least one carboxyl group and one
C: Proteins are sensitive to pH. Diets high in protein tend to acidify blood.
D: Pressure exerted by the movement or mass of water.
7. What is not scientific nomenclature of the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system.
A: Elevation of CO2. Due to lack of removal of CO2 from blood. Treatment: Ventilate.
B: Accepts hydrogen ions in solution.
