Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The only pH regulating system that can excrete base is the kidney system.

Answer: A 
 A buffer is a substance that can absorb or release hydrogen ions to maintain a stable pH.

Answer: B 
 Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid or cannot effectively excrete acid.

Answer: E 
 The respiratory system plays a role in regulating pH through the elimination of carbon dioxide, which affects the balance of acid and base in the body.

Answer: F 
 Metabolic alkalosis occurs when the body loses too much acid or retains too much base.

Answer: D 
 Respiratory alkalosis occurs when the body hyperventilates, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide and an increase in pH.

Answer: J 
 A neutral solution has a pH of 7, indicating a balance of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.

Answer: I 
 Respiratory acidosis occurs when the body retains too much carbon dioxide, leading to an increase in acidity.

Answer: G 
 An alkaline solution has a pH greater than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions.

Answer: C 
 An acid solution has a pH below 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydrogen ions.
