1 The fastest compensatory mechanism for maintaining pH homeostasis in the human

body is

You correctly answered: the chemical buffering system.

2 An increase in hydrogen ion concentration would

You correctly answered: decrease pH.

3 The amount of carbon dioxide in the blood is measured in

You correctly answered: mm Hg.

4 The reaction of water and carbon dioxide is catalyzed by

You correctly answered: carbonic anhydrase.

Experiment Results
Predict Question
1 Predict Question: What do you think will happen to the pH and PCO2 levels with
hyperventilation?

Your answer: pH will decrease and PCO2 will increase.

Stop & Think Questions

1 Were the pH and PCO2 in the normal range?

You correctly answered: Both pH and PCO2 were in the normal range.

2 What was the effect of returning to normal breathing after hyperventilation? i

Post-lab Quiz Results

You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly.

1 Hyperventilation results in

You correctly answered: respiratory alkalosis.

2 With hyperventilation, the higher peaks on the tracing indicate

You correctly answered: a larger volume of air.

3 Which of the following is not a potential cause of respiratory alkalosis?

You correctly answered: emphysema.

4 The kidneys can compensate for respiratory alkalosis by

You correctly answered: retaining H+ and excreting bicarbonate ion.

Review Sheet Results

1 Describe the normal ranges for pH and carbon dioxide in the blood.

Your answer:

normal pH is 7.4 and normal pressure of co2 is 40 mmHg.

2 Describe what happened to the pH and the carbon dioxide level with hyperventilation.
How well did the results compare with your prediction?

PhysioEx Exercise 10 Activity 1 22/05/21 12.37

Your answer:

pH will increased because PCO2 decreased.

3 Explain how returning to normal breathing after hyperventilation differed from

hyperventilation without returning to normal breathing.

Your answer:

ketika kembali ke pernapasan normal setelah hiperventilasi lalu setelahnya ada jeda 10
detik dimana pada saat itu co2 tersimpan.

4 Describe some possible causes of respiratory alkalosis.

Your answer:

biasanya akibat hiperventilasi yang mana PCO2 menurun lalu asam karbonat juga ikut
menurun yang menyebabkan asam meningkat.
