Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metabolic alkalosis is a condition that is caused by a bicarbonate excess, which raises the pH of the blood.

Answer: A
 A buffer is a substance that can absorb excess hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-) to maintain the pH of a solution.

Answer: B
 Metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs when there is an excess of acid in the body, due to factors such as kidney disease, diabetes, or drug toxicity.

Answer: D
 Respiratory alkalosis is a condition that occurs when there is a decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood, often due to hyperventilation.

Answer: E
 The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, through the process of breathing.

Answer: H
 The kidney system helps to maintain the acid-base balance in the body by regulating the levels of bicarbonate and other electrolytes.

Answer: I
 Respiratory acidosis is a condition that occurs when there is an increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood, often due to lung disease or respiratory failure.

Answer: G
 An alkaline solution is a solution with a pH greater than 7, indicating a basic or alkaline environment.

Answer: J
 A neutral solution is a solution with a pH of 7, indicating a balanced concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).
