What is a normal blood serum alcohol level?
less than 80/mg/dl
How are acids often defined?
As having a pH less than 7.
If a person is not exhaling carbon dioxide which then becomes carbonic acid in the blood is this raising the pH or lowering the pH?
Yes, the presence of carbon dioxide in the blood lowers pH so therefore when it is removed the pH increases. However the act of removing carbon dioxide itself does not affect pH, rather it results because of less carbon dioxide.
Why does blood hydrogen ion concentration decrease as the body's metabolic rate decreases?
As the body's metabolic rate decreases, the amount of CO2 that is released into the blood stream decreases as well. The reduced amount of free CO2 means that there is less interaction with H20 which in turn reduces the amount of carbonic acid in the blood stream. With less carbonic acid, there is less neutralization, then there is less free hydrogen ions in the blood stream.
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
How to decipher metabolic acidosis from respiratory acidosis?
A metabolic acidosis will have a low HCO3(less than 22) and a low base access( less than-2) there may be a compensatory low CO2 (less than 4,7kPa. But in respiratory acidosis the CO2 is high( more than 6.0k,Pa) and the O2 may be low
What is the Normal blood presure for a 64 year old?
Normal blood pressure should be less than 120/85mmHg.
What is the normal blood pressure recorded during the ventricular systole?
cardiac cycle Normal is less than 120 (mmHg)
What is acidosis?
normal body pH is 7.35 to 7.45. Now there are certain conditions which alter this. In the most simplistic terms there are two main causes why the body would become acidotic ie its pH becoming less than 7.35. the first reason is when the lungs are not effectively removing the CO2 from the body, this is called respiratory acidosis. The second type is called metabolic acidosis and this occurs in severe sepsis, renal failure and drug overdoses. Either way if you are acidotic you are severely ill!
Lower than normal blood pressure is called?
Abnormally low Blood Pressure is called "Hypotension"(Hypo-= Below, beneath, under, less than normal, deficient, in the lowest state of; Tension= to strain or stretch.)Blood pressure is the force(strain) on the blood vessels' walls. Thus, Hypotension is the less than normal strain on the walls of the blood vessels.
What is Normal blood pressure for 16 year old weighing 150lbs?
Normal blood pressure would be 120/80 or less regardless of his/her weight.
What is blood pressure and what is the normal value of a healthy blood pressure?
less than 120 over 80
When the total number of leukocytes in the circulating blood is less than normal?
Leukopenia
What happens when the blood has less than it normal oxygen carrying capacity?
Brain failure
What is a normal blood serum alcohol level?
less than 80/mg/dl
What describes any situation in which the total number of leukocytes in the circulating blood is less normal?
Leukopenia
What is normal blood pressure for an alcoholic?
An alcoholic should have the same blood pressure as anyone else, less than 120/80, if they are an adult.
