Q

Main samples used in blood gas is arterial blood
Reference Range:_____ mmol/L
It can be calculated through
_________

A

22-26mmol/ L

Henderson Hasselbalch equation

23
Q

24
Q

• A collection of chemical compounds and reactions in the body that help maintain the pH level of the blood and other bodily fluids within a narrow and optimal range.

The pH level is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution, and maintaining the proper pH is essential for many biological processes to function properly.

A

BUFFER SYSTEMS

25
Q

The____ together with the____ provide the first line of defense to change the acid-base status.

A

lungs

buffer systems

26
Q

So for the extracellular fluid the main buffer system is the carbonic acid- bicarbonate buffer system

Remember when cells metabolize they release______ as a waste product

Now this carbon dioxide will combine with water to form______

A

carbon dioxide

carbonic acid

27
Q

Since carbonic acid is an unstable molecule so it immediately dissociates into hydrogen and bicarbonate ions which is accelerated by the enzyme
_________

A

Carbonic Anhydrase

28
Q

_______ ions accumulate in the blood, to avoid a pH change, so chloride ions will go inside the cell to maintain electroneutrality.

A

Bicarbonate

29
Q

• Why does chloride need to go inside the cell? Remember bicarbonate and chloride ions bear a net negative charge. So if both anions are accumulating in the blood there will be an electrolyte imbalance. To fix this chloride ions will enter the cell in an even known as_______

A
