This leads to acidosis from a buildup of nonvolatile acids like lactic and sulfuric acid that are not in equilibrium with diffused gases

What is catabolism? 

100

Where reabsorption occurs of filtrated substances in the kidney nephron

What is the tubule lumen? 

100

A pH below 7.35 is considered this

What is 'acidotic'? 

100

The quicker compensation response organ in acid-base imbalance

What is the lungs? 

100
Strong signals from this center increase the respiratory rate, and control when the inspiratory ramp stops

What is the pneumotaxic center? 

200

This volatile acid is made to be in equilibrium with this gas

200

Kidneys secrete less hydrogen ions when blood pH is... 

What is 'low'? 

200

True or false: on its own, pH moves up and down as PaCO2 moves up and down

What is 'false'? 

200

The two centers of the medulla responsible for breathing regulation

What is the apneustic center and pneumotaxic center? 

200

What is chloride and inverse? 

300

The anion gap will be affected by the levels of this in th blood

What is 'albumin'? 

300

This metabolic acidosis etiology does not cause an increase in the anion gap

What is a body loss of HCO3? 

300

A blood pH that is out of normal range while the appropriate change response is in normal range is this

What is 'uncompensated'? 

300
This part of the medulla sends major stimuli to the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves in the diaphragm to contract to inhale

What is the DRG, or dorsal respiratory groups? 

300

This part of the medulla sends motor impulses through the vagus nerve to the laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles to widen the vocal cords in inspiration and relax the intercostal muscles in expiration

What is the VRG, or ventral respiratory groups? 

400

This generates inflation and exhalation by stretch receptors innervated in large and small airway smooth muscle

400

These are the kidney's nonbicarbonate buffers to acidosis

What is partially compensated metabolic alkalosis with mild hypoxemia? 

400

This happens to tidal volume when pneumotaxic signals are weakened

What is prolonged inspiration? 

400

Results of vasovagal reflexes
