Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect of prolonged vomiting causing a loss of hydrochloric acid on the blood pH (potential of hydrogen).

Introduction:

The digestive system comprises a certain set of organs that carry out the digestion process. Stomach is the main site for digestion of proteins and it contains many digestive enzymes which are secreted by gastric glands. The parietal cells of the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid which activates the protein-digesting enzyme known as pepsin.

Excessive vomiting can to lead to alkalosis, as the gastric glands get more active to replace the gastric juice lost from the stomach lumen. Select ALL of the following that will occur to compensate for this alkalosis (ie, to keep pH stable): a). breathing rate goes down b). kidneys make less HCO3- for blood c). kidneys secrete less H+ d). hyperventilation
Explain why a slight increase in blood pH may occur following a heavy meal. The elevated pH of blood, especially in the veins that carry blood away from the stomach, is called the post enteric alkaline tide.
Which of the following most likely lead to alkalosis?  A. excessive eating of meat and nuts B. increase frequency of bowel movement due to diarrhea C. persistent vomiting due to severe hyperacidity D. hypoventilation
