How is blood pH maintained by the respiratory system?
Respiration controls the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. If respiration slows, CO2 increases, causing a respiratory acidosis. If respiration quickens or deepens, CO2 decreases, promoting a respiratory alkalosis. This is helpful if there is another process going on that impacts the pH of the blood. For instance, in diabetic ketoacidosis, the pH decreases in the blood due to the production of ketoacids. The respiratory system responds by increasing respiration and decreasing CO2 to help bring the pH of the blood up toward normal. The pattern of breathing patients in DKA develop is called Kussmaul breathing - deep and fast. This is a classic sign of DKA.
Infer how the respiratory system would compensate for a circulatory disorder?
If there is metabolic alkalosis (high pH in the blood) or metabolic acidosis (low pH in the blood), the respiratory system will compensate by either increasing or decreasing the rate of respiration (expulsion or retention of CO2 to bring the blood pH back to within normal limits).
If your pCO2 is 35 and your pH is 7.35 what would happen if you increase your respiratory rate?
If you are healthy nothing should happen because your body will make the necessary adjustments by increasing the sodium bicarbonate level to keep the pH level normal. If you are sick and you increase your resp rate and your body can't adjust then the pH will go down along with the cO2 level. This is true if the body is given enough time to adjust. However, it takes the renal system 24 - 48 hours to adjust to changes in the CO2 levels. In the short run, if you increase respiratory rate, the CO2 level will decrease and the pH will increase. This can lead to a respiratory alkalosis.
How does Escherichia Coli affects blood PH urine PH and respiratory rate?
breakdown of ecoli should produce acidity
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.
Would increasing cytoplasmic pH decrease the rate of sucrose transport into the cell?
No. DECREASING Cytoplasmic pH would decrease the rate of sucrose transport into the cell.
Which two chemical factors can modify respiratory rate and depth?
Carbon dioxide and blood PH
What effect does the temperature have on solution rate?
acidic buffers increase pH as temperature increases, basic buffers decrease pH as temperature increases I am still searching for the reason.
What are rates of reaction influenced by?
Temperature (rate increases with temp increase) Pressure (rate again increases with press increase) Concentration (rate increases with concentration increase) Particle size (rate increases with smaller particles) Catalyst increases rate.
Name two chemical factors that modify respiratory rate and depth?
Carbon dioxide and blood pH modify reparatory rate and depth.
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.
What is the role does the respiratory system play in maintaining heart rate and blood pH?
i dont know why ask me? Google is always the answer
