1
New cards

what is the chemical reaction for pH homeostasis

CO2 + H2O →carbonic anhydrase→ H2CO3 → H + HCO

2
New cards

how do you increase H (inc acidity, lower pH) and how do you decrease H (Dec acidity, raise pH)

inc acidity, lower pH - inc reactants to inc products

Dec acidity, raise pH - dec reactants to Dec products

4
New cards

what is the ascending limb of the renal tubule permeable to

reaborbs a lot of salt but is impermeable to water

5
