If the pH is reduced from 7.4 to 7.3 with the alveolar PO2 being constant at 100 mmHg, PCO2 would follow line _____.

At _____ urine pH, the HA form of a weak acid exists, thus decreasing excretion
The arterial blood profile seen in compensated metabolic acidosis is: pH: _____[HCO3-]: decreasedPCO2: decreased
The arterial blood profile seen in compensated respiratory alkalosis is: pH: _____[HCO3-]: decreasedPCO2: decreased
Decreased arterial pH (metabolic acidosis) causes compensatory _____-ventilation with consequent decreased PCO2
The primary disturbance in metabolic acidosis is a _____ in HCO3-
The _____ in red blood cells (from H2CO3) is buffered by deoxyhemoglobin
Renal correction of respiratory acidosis includes increased excretion of excess fixed H+ as _____ and NH4+
The normal range for arterial pH is _____ to 7.45compatible with life is between 6.8 and 8
Increased arterial pH (metabolic alkalosis) causes compensatory _____-ventilation with consequent increased PCO2

These Acid-Base Balance flashcards are designed for NEET-PG Physiology preparation, using active recall to help you retain high-yield concepts, clinical correlations, and commonly tested facts. Each card prompts you to retrieve information from memory rather than passively reviewing notes, which research shows leads to significantly better exam performance.
The 31 cards in this deck cover the most important topics in Acid-Base Balance, including key mechanisms, diagnostic criteria, treatment protocols, and clinical pearls that frequently appear in NEET-PG examinations. Cards are organised by chapter so you can focus on specific areas or work through the entire topic systematically.
