What happens in the body to compensate for metabolic acidosis? Bicarbonate neutralizes acid, and the lungs inhale CO2 as they hyperventilate. Acid neutralizes excess biocarbonate, and the lungs inhale CO2 as they hyperventilate. Bicarbonate neutralizes acid, and the lungs expire CO2 as they hyperventilate. Acid neutralizes excess bicarbonate, and the lungs expire CO2 as they hyperventilate.

Transcript

00:01 The student here the question is related to the metabolic acidosis.

00:08 So what is this metabolic acidosis? so if you want to define this, so this is the occurred due to the result from decrease in blood ph and this is mainly due to the metabolic disorder and these metabolic disorder related related to the mainly renal system or gastrointestinal track.

00:44 So this is going to belong to the renal system or gastrointestinal track.

00:52 So if we take the example of this metabolic acidosis, so the severe diarrhea is the one which belongs to this category.

01:03 So in that case, extensive loss of body.

01:08 Bicarbonate ion extensive loss of bicarbonate iron from the gastrointestinal tract and this is done along with water molecule.

01:23 So in that case, the low bicarbonate is available and this is going to decrease the ph of the blood and which is going to be less than 7 .35.

01:39 So in order to compensate these ph change, the respiratory system increases.

01:47 So here, respiratory, here we can write in order to compensate these change in a ph.

01:58 So this respiratory system is going to increase respiration rate or we can say the hyperventilation taking place.

02:14 So hyperventilation.

02:18 So more and more oxygen is come and the carbon dioxide is going to remove rapidly.

02:29 Because here the oxygen is taken in...
