Describe Metabolic Alkalosis

Describe metabolic alkalosis.

A) Metabolic alkalosis occurs when pH decreases due to an impaired ability to remove CO₂ by the lungs.
B) Metabolic alkalosis occurs when pH increases due to faster CO₂ elimination by the lungs than production.
C) Metabolic alkalosis occurs when pH decreases due increased numbers of fixed and metabolic acids,from bicarbonate loss,or from depletion of bicarbonate reserve when hydrogen ions are not adequately excreted by the kidneys.
D) Metabolic alkalosis occurs when pH increases due to the removal of hydrogen ions when bicarbonate ion concentrations are elevated.
E) Metabolic alkalosis occurs when pH increases due to an impaired ability to remove CO₂ by the lungs.
