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).
How does the body compensate for metabolic acidosis?
There are three ways the body compensates for acidosis and alkalosis. The major mechanisms are chemical buffers, respiratory systems and the urinary system

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.
What body system is the larynx a part of?
