pH ratio : bicarbonate/carbonic acid (base/acid) Three Mechanisms Regulating Acid-Base Balance : 1. Plasma buffer system 2. Respiratory system 3. Renal system Plasma buffer systems : work fast! -HCO3-, H2CO3 -protein buffers -phosphate -cellular ion exchange mechanism 2 How does the respiratory system regulate acid-base balance? : Regulate retention or elimination of CO2 through changes in rate of ventilation. How does the renal system regulate acid-base balance? : kidneys eith...

S and L fiber complex c. Substantia gelatinosa d. Central transmission (T) cell : c. substantia gelatinosa regarding the Gate Control Theory of Pain, select the one FALSE statement a. L fibers stimulate (excite) BOTH the T cell and the SG b. S fibers inhibit BOTH the...

what is diabetes Mellitus (DM)? : a systemic metabolic disorder in which there is chronic hyperglycemia (high blood sugar over years) what are 2 causes of diabetes mellitus? : 1. a decrease in production and secretion of insulin (type 1) 2. a decrease in the cells ability to utilize the insulin (type 2) insulin deficiency can lead to... : impaired use of CHO, fats, and proteins chronic hyperglycemia causes... : structural abnormalities in (the vasculature of) many organs where is insu...

4 Types of Immune Alterations : Exaggerated, misdirected against host's own cells, Directed against beneficial foreign tissues, and Deficiency Hypersensitivity : - Autoimmunity is when the body starts to think of its own antigens as foreign. - Isoimmunity is when the body reacts against tissues of other members of the same species. 4 Types of Hypersensitivity : - Type I: IgE mediated allergic reactions / allergies - Type II: tissue-specific / blood transfusion reactions - Type III...
