The only way to determine the pH of cerebrospinal fluid is for the doctor to do a lumbar puncture. This involves putting a needle into the space between the vertebrae or bones in the back. The fluid that comes out is called cerebrospinal fluid, and it gets sent to a medical laboratory for testing.

If sweetness is detected by the presence of glucose what does sourness detect?
The pH of what you are eating or drinking.
What kind of bases are in a human body?
Many things in the human body are basic. Blood, for example, is slightly basic (having a pH of 7.35-7.45). Pancreatic fluid and cerebrospinal fluid are also slightly basic. Bicarbonate is one of the most important bases in the human body because it acts as a buffer, meaning it helps to neutralize acids in the blood. The kidneys either retain or excrete bicarbonate to help control the pH of the blood.
What is the normal pH of intracellular fluid?
7.2
Why can't I hold my breath as long as I want?
Because you need oxygen to survive, and if you don't get the air, that carries oxygen, you will die. But you can practice holding it for longer periods of time, but if you hold it for to long, you may feel faint, so I suggest not to do that.
In a reaction of an acid with a base the pH changes to a value that is closer to what?
In a reaction of an acid with a base the pH changes to a value that is closer to 7.
What is the normal pH of cerebrospinal fluid and bile?
cerebrospinal fluid -- 7.3
Can bacterial vaginosis be detected by an urine test?
BV can't be detected by a urine test. BV is found physical exam, pH testing of the vaginal fluid, or microscopic exam of the fluid, or a combination of these.
What is the pH level of cerebrospinal fluid?
ph of normal CSF is 7.28 - 7.32. This is decreased in -severe SAH and cerebral haemorrhage -head trauma -cerebral infarction -purulent meningitis -status epilepticus -brain metastases
What substance acts to prevent sudden pH changes in bodily fluid?
Buffer
What would pH changes in extracellular fluid affect cellular plasma membranes first any other part of the cell?
what would ph changes in extracellular fluid affect cellular plasma membranes first any other part of the cell
Why can't you hold your breath for a long time?
The primary stimulus in the regulation of breathing patterns are the chemical changes in the blood such as the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide (PO2/PCO2) and hydrogen ion concentration (pH). Hydrogen ion concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has the earliest and greatest influence on respiratory activity. Hence, hypoventilation (as in breath holding) stimulates neurons of the inspiratory center in the medulla when the rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide decreases cerebrospinal fluid pH. Conversely, voluntary hyperventilation depresses the respiratory center via the decrease in partial pressure of carbon dioxide which raises cerebrospinal fluid pH.
What is the pH of amniotic fluid?
Amniotic fluid has an alkaline pH (7.1 to 7.3)
What is the pH of tissue fluid?
Blood and tissue fluid normally have a pH of 7.35 to 7.45
What is copper oxides pH?
Copper(I) oxide and copper(II) oxide are both very insoluble in water. In practise i would expect no pH to be detected- however as they are basic oxides if any pH is detected it will be greater than 7.
What is the normal PH value of intraocular fluid?
the normal PH value of intraocullar fluid is 7
What is Alkaline Fluid?
Type your answer here...Alkaline fluid is a purified liquid with a ph of 7.0 or higher up to ph 14...below ph 7.0 turns in to acidic fluid.
Can anyone explain the different mechanisms that contribute to the regulation of breathing?
Mechanisms that contribute to the regulation of breathing is a sensor / control center that can recognize the change in pH of the cerebrospinal fluid. Which affects the nervous system and chemical signals which are when carbon dioxide rises in the blood?
