As PCO2 of the blood decreases, what happens to the urine H+concentration as kidneys compensate for this change?(increase, decrease, or no change
Explain what the kidneys are doing that makes the H+concentration change in this manner, and how this change acts as acompensation to the decreasing PCO2.
As PCO2 of the blood decreases, what happens to the urine HCO3-concentration?
Explain what the kidneys are doing that makes the HCO3-concentration change in this manner, and how this change acts as acompensation to the decreasing PCO2.
Give an example of the kind of physiological change that wouldCAUSE a decrease in [H+] DIRECTLY (without causing a change in PCO2first).
What would such a condition be called?
Give an example of the kind of physiological change that wouldCAUSE an increase in [H+] DIRECTLY (without causing a change inPCO2 first).
What would such a condition be called?
If the root cause of the H+ concentration changes is anabnormality of the kidneys, how might the respiratory systemrespond to:
a. an increasing H+ concentration.
b. a decrease in H+ concentration.
