Which of the following are true about the relationship between chloride (Cl–) and bicarbonate HCO3– in acid-base balance? 1.  For each Cl– ion excreted into the urine; the blood gains an HCO3– ion.2.  Blood Cl– and HCO3– ion levels are reciprocally (oppositely) related.3.  People with chronically high CO2 tend to have low blood Cl– levels.

A “negative” or base deficit indicates a shortage of base excess of acid due primarily to respiratory causes.

If the bicarbonate in the plasma is 16 mEq/L and the PaCO2 is 30 mm Hg, it will result to an alkaline pH.

Patient on continuous nasogastric suctioning could have a non-respiratory disturbance of metabolic alkalosis.

The primary goal of acid-base homeostasis is to maintain a normal PaO2.  

What are the major mechanisms responsible for maintaining a stable pH despite massive CO2 production?  Pulmonary ventilation  Gastrointestinal secretion  Isohydric buffering

In the kidney’s tubule cell, counter-transport refers to the simultaneous transport of Na+ and H+ ions in the opposite direction.

Discounting potassium (K+), what is a normal anion gap range according to Egan?
