Distinguish between acidosis and alkalosis resulting from respiratory and metabolic factors?
Gangotrikailash
If the patient's pH goes down, the patient will become acidotic. Their pH goes down when their CO2 in their blood is increased. If their pH does up, they will become alkadotic. This is caused by the direct relationship between bicarbonate (HCO3) and pH. If their bicarbonate levels rise their pH will rise also. Hope that helps.

∙ 13y ago1)Respiratory acidosis results from carbon dioxide retention; respiratory alkalosis occurs when carbon dioxide is eliminated faster than it is produced. 2)Metabolic acidosis occurs when fixed acids (lactic acid, ketone bodies, and others) accumulate in the blood or when bicarbonate is lost from the body; metabolic alkalosis occurs when bicarbonate levels are excessive. Distinguishing factors between respiratory and metabolic acidosis is that in respiratory acidosis, the CO2 is increased while the bicarbonate is either normal (uncompensated) or increased (compensated). Compensation occurs if respiratory acidosis is present, and a chronic phase is entered with partial buffering of the acidosis through renal bicarbonate retention.

How does the respiratory system control carbonic acid concentration and pH?
when there is to much carbonic acid the body increases rate and depth of respiration to reduce the co2, which reduces the carbonic acid,(water in the plasma + co2 = h2co3 . when the co2 level goes down below normal levels, respirations slow and become more shallow to retain co2 which increases the carbonic acid, and adjusts the blood ph.
What effect does hyperventilation have on the concentration of co2 in the blood?
Hyperventilation will blow off carbon dioxide which reduces the alkaline component of the blood, resulting in acidosis and a lower blood pH. (See Andromeda Strain). This is why re-breathing into a bag to increase carbon dioxide in your blood will make you feel less faint. Now you know why you pass out when blowing up that air mattress on the camping trip! you are close but not right it produces respiratory alkalosis and a higher blood pH
Why does the pH level decrease when blood CO2 levels increase?
well...too much CO2 in the body means there's a high H+ concentration.... which means there's low pH.

What is the resulting substance after filtration?
Resulting substance that goes down after filtration is the filtrate and the one that remains on the filter is residue.
If oxygen is not present what happens to blood pH?
There are two ways the body attempts to compensate for a pH imbalance: Respiratory compensation and metabolic compensation. The blood's normal pH is 7.35-7.45. RESPIRATORY: Breathing rapidly (hyperventilation) or slowly (hyperventilation) are ways the body compensates for imbalanced blood pH. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is acts to acidify the blood (lower the pH). Therefore, the respiratory system attempts to compensate for the imbalance: resulting in hyperventilating (deceasing CO2 contained in the blood) during low blood pH (acidosis). Inversely, hypoventilation occurs during a rise in blood pH (alkalosis). METABOLIC: The kidneys produce sodium bicarbonate, acting as a alkaline substance (raising pH). The increased release of bicarbonate increases blood pH. Inversely, the deceased release of bicarbonate lowers the blood pH. If the body cannot adequately compensate for the pH imbalance it becomes is a life-threatening condition.
Where can I find a good metabolic diet plan?
No, you should not try the metabolic diet, because it could put a strain on your immune system, resulting in catastrophic consequences to your body. Don't risk it!
Does hyperventilation affect spo2 readings?
It shouldn't. It is helpful to think of ventilation and oxygenation as separate processes. Ventilation (affected by respiratory rate and tidal volume) primarily affects carbon dioxide exchange, so hyperventilation will cause you to blow off more CO2 and therefore drop your partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood, resulting in a respiratory alkalosis. Oxygenation, on the other hand, is affected primarily by oxygen concerntration in the inspired air and pressure in the airways. Hyperventilation should not affect either, and so it should not affect your oxygen level.
Why does tachycardia occur w asthma?
fast breathing rate In asthma or other lung diseases, the ability to expire carbon dioxide decreases, resulting in buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, resulting in respiratory acidosis (decreased pH in the blood). Acidosis stimulates the respiratory centers in the brain, causing the respiratory rate to increase (tachypnea) to attempt to normalize the pH of the blood.
