acid base balance
Storyboard Text
- pH is hydrogen ion concentration that determines the acidity of a solution
- Acidic
- This is the pH scale of 0-14, a number greater than 7 is Alkaline, less than 7 is Acidic. Blood pH is at 7.35-7.45
- Alkaline
- - Denature protein function- Respiratory problems- Affect muscle contractility- Kidney disease- Infection
- Ahhh
- 1. Acid base balance
- 2. pH scale
- Acid Base Balance
- 3. Abnormal blood pH alter homeostasis
- Keeping a normal blood pH helps maintaining homeostasis and contributes to overall well-being.
- - Buffer: monitor blood plasma to restore hydrogen concentration- Respiratory: quickly adjust amount of CO2 the lungs exhale- Renal: slowly adjust amount of acids and bicarbonate excreted or reabsorbed
- These buffer systems work together to regulate our blood pH.
- Our body has feedback and mechanisms that bring pH under control: Chemical buffers, Respiratory, and Renal regulations.
- 6. Homeostasis with optimal acid-base
- 5. How the mechanisms work in response to acid-base imbalance
- 4. Factors regulate blood pH
