lab Questions
1. How can eating a high-salt diet increase blood pressure?
A high-salt diet can raise blood pressure by activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system
(RAAS), causing blood vessel dysfunction, increasing fluid retention, and impairing kidney
function, among other processes. Cutting less on salt can help lower blood pressure and lower
the chance of developing health problems associated with hypertension.
2. Research the following disorders and write a definition for each:
a. Acidemia: The condition is where the pH is lowered because the body and blood tissues
contain more hydrogen ions than usual.
b. Alkalemia: The condition where blood and biological tissues have less hydrogen
concentration as the pH rises.
c. Acidosis: The process that causes the body's blood tissues and overall acidity to
increase.
d. Alkalosis: The rationale behind the lowered hydrogen ion concentrations in biological
tissues and blood.
3. Name three ways the body regulates the pH of blood.
Respiratory control, renal control, and chemical agents
