Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When excessive metabolic production of acids occurs, the body compensates by stimulating increased expiration of carbon dioxide to reduce acid concentrations in the body.Whereas increased kidney excretion of bicarbonate would be the compensation mechanism for dealing with respiratory alkalosis, decreased excretion of bicarbonate would compensate for respiratory acidosis.In metabolic alkalosis, the lungs would compensate by reducing expiration of carbon dioxide.
