Decreased PCO2 (respiratory alkalosis) results in _____ HCO3- reabsorption
#2
In the lumen of the collecting duct, NH3 and H+ form NH4+, which is trapped in the tubular fluid and excreted ("_____"))
#3
If metabolic alkalosis is accompanied by ECF volume _____, the reabsorption of HCO3- increases, worsening the metabolic alkalosis
#4
Renal compensation of respiratory alkalosis includes _____ excretion of fixed H+ as titratable acid and NH4+
#5
Renal compensation of respiratory alkalosis includes _____ reabsorption of "new" HCO3-
#6
In the proximal tubule, glutamate is ultimately metabolized to _____, which is reabsorbed
#7
The H+ from NH4+ (glutamine breakdown) in the proximal tubule cells is secreted into the lumen via the _____ exchanger
#8
ECF volume contraction results in _____ HCO3- reabsorption
#9
Acid-base disturbances may affect serum K+ levels via altering activity and directionality of the _____ exchanger
#10
In _____ cells (in plasma), CO2 is combined with H2O via the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, forming H2CO3
