Document Summary

Summary of acid / base physiology: the ph of body fluids is normally maintained at 7. 4 in spite of the daily production of large amounts of. Co2 (volatile acid) and fixed acids (nonvolatile acids). The mechanisms that maintain a constant ph include buffering, respiratory compensation, and renal compensation: buffering represents the first line of defense in protecting the ph. A buffered solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base. The most effective physiologic buffers have a pk near 7. 4. Hpo4 buffers include organic phosphates and proteins (e. g. , deoxyhemoglobin). And excretion of h+ as: renal mechanisms in acid-base balance include reabsorption of virtually all of the filtered. Hco3 titratable acid and nh4: for each h+ excreted as titratable acid or nh4. Is synthesized and: simple acid-base disorders can be metabolic or respiratory in origin. Metabolic disorders involve a primary disturbance of the [hco3 gain or loss of fixed h+.
