#1

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
