Across
  1. 3. Characterized by acute episodes of hyperventilation
  2. 5. A condition where the body attempts to compensate for respiratory acidosis by excreting hydrogen ions
  3. 6. Inadequate removal of this gas leads to respiratory acidosis
  4. 7. A hormone that regulates bicarbonate reabsorption in the kidneys.
  5. 8. Membrane where CO2 crosses rapidly
  6. 10. primary decrease in plasma PCO2
  7. 11. Respiratory compensation for metabolic alkalosis
  8. 13. A potential cause of chronic respiratory acidosis
  9. 16. Condition that impairs alveolar ventilation.
  10. 19. Lactic acid is produced by the anaerobic metabolism of
  11. 20. This electrolyte imbalance often accompanies metabolic alkalosis.
Down
  1. 1. A condition that may produce local increases in tissue metabolism and lactate production
  2. 2. The anion gap is useful in determining the cause of
  3. 4. Condition characterized by the accumulation of CO2 in the blood
  4. 9. One of the common causes of metabolic acidosis is inadequate delivery of
  5. 12. Hormone increasing ventilation in women
  6. 14. Common cause of metabolic alkalosis due to the loss of acid from the stomach
  7. 15. Commonly associated with metabolic alkalosis due to enhanced H+ secretion in the distal tubule
  8. 17. Decrease in pH and plasma HCO3
  9. 18. A systemic disorder caused by an increase in plasma pH due to an excess in HCO3−
