Normal arterial pH is 7.35 to 7. 45. Both
metabolic and respiratory alkalosis have pH
more basic compare to the normal arterial

value in alkalosis?
Niemann-Pick type C disease is a progressive
neurological disease; symptoms include
unsteady walking with uncoordinated limb
movements, slurred speech, a difficulty in
swallowing, epilepsy and tremor. This
condition is due to the abnormal functioning
of a lysosome. State the normal functions
performed by this organelle.
The pH of human blood is buffered at 7.35 to 7.45. If the [OH-] of the blood sample is 6.3x10-6, calculate its pH value. Is the patient’s pH within the range? Or is experiencing acidosis or alkalosis condition?
