Alkaline and acid
A read of this page, with the plate.



pH is potential hydrogen. Blood likes a narrow band. Carbonic acid is the buffer — CO₂ plus water, pulling either way. Too much breathing blows off CO₂, the buffer turns to water, OH⁻ builds, alkaline. Not enough holds CO₂, H⁺ rises, acid, low oxygen. Vinegar and ammonia stay off the screen. A number belongs with a physician. Ammonia as another alkaline door — urea cycle, manganese, PABA, arginine as names. Parasites as Course 14. Fungotox stays a name. A child who will not breathe: you stop.
Her voice, from the class.
Alkaline and acid — hyperventilate, H2CO3, alkalinity
Practice
Name too much, not enough, the buffer. If a child is not breathing, you stop.
Check
The buffer on 28-4/5 is:
- Vinegar
- Carbonic acid — CO₂ plus water, pulls either way ✓
- PQQ
pH is a breath.
Breathing too much:
- Holds CO₂
- Blows off CO₂ — carbonic turns to water, blood goes alkaline ✓
- Is acidosis
28-4.
Not enough breath:
- Blows off CO₂
- Holds CO₂ — carbonic acid, H⁺ rises, acid ✓
- Is PGE-1
28-5.
The band blood likes:
- Any pH
- A narrow band around 7.4 ✓
- Vinegar on the screen
Outside it, the body cannot work.
Alkaline on this hour:
- Too much H⁺
- Too much OH⁻ — hyperventilation or ammonia as doors ✓
- The tree
That's the work.
Acid on this hour:
- Too much OH⁻
- Too much H⁺ — emphysema holding CO₂ as a picture ✓
- Milk
That's the work.
A number on this hour is:
- A student panel
- A physician — vinegar and ammonia stay off the screen ✓
- Q07 reprinting Q01
The stop.
A child who will not breathe:
- You prescribe a buffer
- You stop ✓
- You wait for heme
The stop.
Asks reprinted from 28-1/2/3:
- Stay
- Cut — this hour is buffer, blow-off vs hold, 7.4 ✓
- Become FAD
Path’s cut.
Q07 duplicating Q01:
- Fine
- Gone — one buffer ask ✓
- Krebs
Cut.
