Unit 7 Assignment Acid-Base Balance: Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis, Metabolic Acidosis and Alkalosis Tianna Robinson February 23,2016 SC131: Human Anatomy and Physiology Normal blood pH ranges from7.35 to 7.45. When blood pH decreases below 7.35 an acidosis occurs. Respiratory acidosis is caused when the lungs cannot remove all of the carbon dioxide that is produced by the body and body fluids become too acidic (Respiratory acidosis, 2014).

Substances can be classified as acidic or alkalinic depending on the concentration of hydrogen or hydroxide ions. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions the lower the pH this means it will be an acid and the higher the concentration of hydroxide ions the higher the pH this means it will be an base(science prof online).
