Question

When pH of blood falls below normal in a human being where the lungs and respiratory centres are working, the condition is called metabolic acidosis. The chief compensation for metabolic acidosis comes from respiratory system, which (sensitive to pressure of CO2) instruct lungs:

A) To retain more CO2 than normal in the body
B) To blow more CO2 than normal out of the body
C) Not to blow any CO2 from the body
D) To blow all the CO2 from the body.

Answer 1

Answer:

Acidosis occurs when the pH of the blood falls below 7.35 (normal blood pH is between 7.35 and 7.45). Respiratory acidosis is typically caused by an underlying disease or condition. This is also called respiratory failure or ventilatory failure. Normally, the lungs take in oxygen and exhale CO2.

Hope it will be correct....
