Question

Data collected for a particular subject during the acid base experiment were

  • time between urine collections = 30 min
  • urine volume collected = 73 mL
  • pH of urine = 7.12
  • Buffer-bound H+ concentration = 4.5 µmol/mL

Calculate the:

  • urinary minute volume (urine flow rate)
  • excretion rate of free H+ ions
  • excretion rate of total H+ (free and bound)   

Then compare the excretion rate of free H+ ions and that for buffer-bound H+ and explain why the H+ excretion rate calculated from urine pH underestimates total H+ excretion.

Please provide a clear and detailed answer to help me understand. Thank you!

A. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM- is an organ system composing of the heart and blood vessels as its major organs in which its major function is transportation, using blood as the transport vehicle that carries nutrients, cell wastes, hormones and many other substances vital for body hemeostasis. As cardiovascular do these functions the lymphatic system helps in picking up leaked fluid and plasma proteins and returns them to the circulation on which its immune system cells protect cadiovascular organs from invading pathogens, while Respiratory system carries out gas exchange: loads oxygen and unloads carbon dioxide. Respiratory pumps also aids venous return that helps cardiovascular to maintain the normal volume of circulating blood while urinary system helps regulate blood volume and pressure. In addition, digestive system provides nutrients to the blood including iron and vitamin B for RBC and hemoglobin formation on which waste products are being carried away by the urinary system. Moreover, as the cardiovascular system transport hormone, estrogen maintains vascular health in women which is one of the important hormone produced by the reproductive system.
