Which of the following statements regarding gas balance is INCORRECT?Question 2Select one:a.Hypoventilation triggered by acidosis, induces a rise in partial pressure of CO2b.Plasma CO2 content is associated with alveolar ventilationc.Decreases in blood pH activate cellular mechanisms to reduce hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in extracellular fluidd.Choking can induce blood acidosise.A role of the lungs is to remove volatile acids like CO2

6. An animal experiences an acid-base imbalance in the arterial blood that results in acidosis. Toincrease pH toward normal, which direction would the ventilation rate be changed and what wouldbe the corresponding change in arterial PCO2?A. Ventilation rate increases, arterial PCO2 increasesB. Ventilation rate increases, arterial PCO2 decreasesC. Ventilation rate decreases, arterial PCO2 increasesD. Ventilation rate decreases, arterial PCO2 decreasesE. None of the above

Hyperventilation (rapid breathing) occurs in response to respiratory acidosis because hyperventilation:A.increases blood pH by decreasing CO2 concentrations.B.increases blood pH by decreasing HCO3- concentrations.C.decreases blood pH by decreasing CO2 concentrations.D.decreases blood pH by decreasing HCO3- concentrations

Which statements about gas exchange in the human lung are true?When you inhale there is a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli than in the bloodOxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse through the walls of the alveoliOxygen diffuses from the blood into the alveoliWhen you inhale there is a higher concentration of oxygen in the alveoli than in the blood

Which of the followig would increase the pH of the blood?   high intensity exercise resulting in the production of CO2. decreased ventilation causing a build up of CO2. increased ventilation at the lung to remove CO2. a higher ventilation to perfusion ratio (V/Q) in the lung.

Select all that applyHow do proteins contribute to acid-base balance of the blood?Multiple select question.Enhance formation of bicarbonateIncrease excretion of CO2 by the lungsServe as buffers that resist changes in pHPump ions into and out of cells
