Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: What effect do you think lowering the PCO2 will have on [H+ ] and [HCO3- ] in the urine?
Your answer : d. [H+ ] will decrease and [HCO3- ] will increase.

Predict Question 2: What effect do you think raising the PCO2 will have on [H+ ] and [HCO3- ] in the urine?
Your answer : c. [H+ ] will increase and [HCO3- ] will decrease.

You correctly answered: a. The pH increases.

2. In uncompensated respiratory alkalosis, the


You correctly answered: b. carbon dioxide levels of the blood are low.

Review Sheet Results
1. Describe what happened to the concentration of ions in the urine when the PCO2 was lowered. How well did the results
compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
- La concentración de iones hidrógeno H+ disminuyó, mientras que, la concentración de iones bicarbonato aumentó.
- La respuesta a la predicción fue correcta.

2. What condition was simulated when the PCO2 was lowered?


Your answer:
-Hiperventilación

3. Describe what happened to the concentration of ions in the urine when the PCO2 was raised. How well did the results
compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
-Cuando se elevó la concentración de PCO2 se presentó una disminución del pH, esto se ve reflejado en el aumento de H+
y la disminución de HCO3- en la orina.
-Mi respuesta fue acertada.

4. What condition was simulated when the PCO2 was raised?


Your answer:
-Hipoventilación.
