Across
  1. 2. A strong acid found in the stomach that can contribute to alkalosis if lost
  2. 7. A severe metabolic acidosis that occurs in uncontrolled diabetes
  3. 9. The primary gas responsible for respiratory acidosis
  4. 10. The acid-base disorder caused by excessive CO2 retention
  5. 11. A compensatory mechanism involving increased breathing rate to eliminate CO2
  6. 12. The condition where blood pH rises above 7.45
  7. 16. A condition that can result from hyperventilation
  8. 17. The respiratory response to metabolic alkalosis that retains CO₂ to lower pH
Down
  1. 1. The acid-base disorder caused by loss of bicarbonate, such as in severe diarrhea
  2. 3. The condition that occurs when lactic acid accumulates in the blood
  3. 4. The ion that is excreted in higher amounts in urine during acidosis to help maintain electroneutrality
  4. 5. The enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid
  5. 6. The acid-base imbalance caused by excessive vomiting
  6. 8. The ion that is excreted in urine during alkalosis as the kidneys try to retain hydrogen ions
  7. 13. A condition where blood pH drops below 7.35
  8. 14. A condition that can result from excess bicarbonate(TUMS) ingestion
  9. 15. The primary organ responsible for compensating for respiratory acidosis
