Question

Explain the role of buffers in the control of blood pH Question What are the causes of metabolic alkalosis? Select the correct answer below: O Too much CO2 is eliminated, dropping the CO2 pressure below 38 torr and resulting in a rise in blood pH. This can be caused by hyperventilation, fever, excessive exercise, or reactions to certain drugs. O The body eliminates too much acid or produces too much base for the renal system to compensate, resulting in a rise in blood pH. O Breathing difficulty or lung problems that reduce the ability to remove CO., resulting in a CO, pressure over 42 torr, so acidic protons are not removed and the pH drops O Changes in the Hor HCO, concentrations that cannot be adequately relieved by the body result in the pH dropping. It can be brought on by diabetes, kidney disease, diarrhea or vomiting, or inadequate oxygen

Answer 1

Correct option:

O The body eliminates too much acid or produces too much base for the renal system to compensate, resulting in a rise in blood pH.

pH increases in alkalosis. pH increases or H⁺ concentration decreases when body eliminates too much stomach acid by vomiting. pH also rises when there is an imbalance between the production of bicarbonate base and the elimination of excess bicarbonate by renal system.
