1
New cards

Chemical buffer systems, respiratory center control, kidneys and liver

Three primary systems that regulate pH balance

2
New cards

Chemical buffer systems, respiratory center control

Two first lines of defense against fluctuations in systemic pH

3
New cards

Chemical buffer systems

Does not remove excess acid or base; just neutralizes the H+ or OH- ions

4
New cards

Respiratory center control

Increased alveolar ventilation removes CO2 and therefore decreases H2CO3/H+ and other volatile acids

5
New cards

Hypoxemia

Low PaO2

6
New cards

Hypoxia

Reduction of oxygen supply to tissues below physiological levels
