Case Study 5

Below are two (2) narratives about acid-base balance, answer the questions associated with each. You may work in small groups, but make sure that each team member turns in a sheet with their name on it. Feel free to ask questions to clarify any of the information below.

1: Charlie isn’t feeling well and goes to his doctor and is diagnosed with acidosis.

Question 1: What effect would acidosis have on the body and what would be the pH of his blood?

Question 2: Explain the difference between respiratory and metabolic acidosis and for each give the potential causes?

Question 3: Explain the three lines of defense his body would use to combat the change in pH. Be sure to explain the role of the four different chemical buffers, and the roles of the respiratory and renal mechanisms and how the body’s response would be different depending on whether he is suffering from respiratory or metabolic acidosis.

2: Linus isn’t feeling well and goes to his doctor and is diagnosed with alkalosis.

Question 1: What effect would alkalosis have on the body and what would be the pH of his blood?

Question 2: Explain the difference between respiratory and metabolic alkalosis and for each give the potential causes?

Question 3: Explain the three lines of defense his body would use to combat the change in pH. Be sure to explain the role of the four different chemical buffers, and the roles of the respiratory and renal mechanisms.
