Definitions of acidosis and alkalosis are provided. In this system, what role do buffers play?
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Define acidosis and alkalosis. What roles do buffers perform in this system?Explain acidosis and alkalosis. What functions do buffers provide in this system?Three systems of the body help regulate acid/base balance - buffer system, respiratory system and renal system. Describe the renal response in a person experiencing metabolic alkalosis due to severe vomiting. Provide the general formula for pH control in acid/base regulation.
- Explain thoroughly the Buffering Action of following Biological or Physiological Buffers:(a) Phosphate Buffer System.(b) Bicarbonate Buffer system.Metabolic alkalosis refers to a process whereupon decreased hydrogen ion, or increased bicarbonate, concentrations occur in the body, and the blood pH becomes too basic. Answer the following questions: How does the body regain its acid-base equilibria/balance? What happens when that balance does not happen? Will a buffer system still work under these conditions?Identify the most powerful buffer system in the body, provide the equation to show how this buffer is reversible.
- Define bicarbonate buffer systemdefine buffer and write chemical equations for thebicarbonate, phosphate, and protein buffer systems;Consider the equilibrium shown below; indicating the buffering system in the blood circulation. CO, + H,0 [H,CO3] HCO3¯+H* When a patient is choking, would this lead to an alkalosis or an acidosis situation? Explain.
