Question
Which of the following is NOT a response of the body to acidosis?Question 38Answera.Activation of Type B cells in the kidneyb.Increased reabsorption of HCO3- by the kidneyc.Increased ventilationd.Increased excretion of H+ by the kidney
Solution
The answer is a. Activation of Type B cells in the kidney. This is not a response of the body to acidosis. Acidosis is a condition characterized by excess acid in the body fluids, and the body responds by trying to restore the pH balance. This is done through increased reabsorption of HCO3- by the kidney, increased ventilation to expel CO2 (which is acidic) from the body, and increased excretion of H+ by the kidney. However, activation of Type B cells in the kidney is not a mechanism the body uses to respond to acidosis.
