Question

If an external stimulus is acting to increase the ph of blood (making the blood more alkaline), what chemical or ion is being generated in the bloodstream and needs to be neutralized?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the amounts of H+ and CO2 exceed the capacity of hemoglobin, they affect the carbonic acid equilibrium (Equation 10). This lowers the pH of the blood, causing acidosis. The lungs and kidneys respond to pH changes by removing CO2, HCO3-, and H+ from the blood.

Answer 2

If the amounts of H+ and CO2 exceed the capacity of hemoglobin, they affect the carbonic acid equilibrium (Equation 10). This lowers the pH of the blood, causing acidosis. The lungs and kidneys respond to pH changes by removing CO2, HCO3-, and H+ from the blood.
