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

A pH below 7.35 is considered this
What is 'acidotic'?
The quicker compensation response organ in acid-base imbalance
What is the lungs?
What is the pneumotaxic center?
This volatile acid is made to be in equilibrium with this gas
What is carbonic acid and carbon dioxide?
Kidneys secrete less hydrogen ions when blood pH is...
What is 'low'?
True or false: on its own, pH moves up and down as PaCO2 moves up and down
What is 'false'?

What is the apneustic center and pneumotaxic center?
Chronic COPD patients often have low levels of this electrolyte because of its ______ relationship with bicarb
What is chloride and inverse?
The anion gap will be affected by the levels of this in th blood
What is 'albumin'?
This metabolic acidosis etiology does not cause an increase in the anion gap
What is a body loss of HCO3?
A blood pH that is out of normal range while the appropriate change response is in normal range is this
What is 'uncompensated'?
What is the DRG, or dorsal respiratory groups?
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?
This generates inflation and exhalation by stretch receptors innervated in large and small airway smooth muscle

What is diuretics?
Classify this ABG: pH 7.3, PaCO2 24, HCO3 17, PaO2 49
What is partially compensated metabolic acidosis with moderate hypoxemia?
These receptors are found in muscle, joints, and pain receptors of the skin
What is peripheral proprioceptors?
