How does the respiratory system respond to metabolic alkalosis?
How does the respiratory system respond to metabolic alkalosis?
It wouldn’t, only the kidneys do
it would increase the breathing rate (hyperventilate)
you would keep breathing normally
it would decrease the breathing rate (hypoventilate)
If blood oxygen is low, how do the kidneys compensate?
they produce more urine
they produce erythropoietin
they increase the uptake of oxygen
they decrease the amount of urine output
How is pH affected by hypoventilation?
it is decreased
no effect
it is increased
it increases dramatically and then levels off
As the amount of surfactant increased, what happened to the total airflow?
first it decreased slightly and then it rose quickly
it decreased
no effect
it increased
