Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: What effect do you think lowering the PCO2 will have on [H+ ] and [HCO3- ] in the urine?
Your answer : c. [H+ ] will increase and [HCO3- ] will decrease.
Predict Question 2: What effect do you think raising the PCO2 will have on [H+ ] and [HCO3- ] in the urine?
Your answer : c. [H+ ] will increase and [HCO3- ] will decrease.
Stop & Think Questions:
The condition you just simulated is
Your answer : a. respiratory acidosis caused by hypoventilation.
Correct answer: b. respiratory alkalosis caused by hyperventilation.
Can the renal system fully compensate for acidosis or alkalosis?
Your answer : c. Yes, both for respiratory alkalosis and respiratory acidosis.
Correct answer: d. No, neither for respiratory alkalosis nor respiratory acidosis.
