how
will respiratory system respond to ketoacidosis (keto acids are
being put into the blood stream due to starvation)?
a. increase
b. no change in respiratory rate

Expert Solution
Ketoacidosis is a metabolic state caused by uncontrolled production of ketone bodies that cause a metabolic acidosis. While ketosis refers to any elevation of blood ketones, ketoacidosis is a specific pathologic condition that results in changes in blood pH and requires medical attention. The most common cause of ketoacidosis is diabetic ketoacidosis but can also be caused by alcohol, medications, toxins, and rarely starvation.
Ketoacidosis is caused by the uncontrolled production of ketone bodies. Usually the production of ketones is carefully controlled by several hormones, most importantly insulin. If the mechanisms that control ketone production fail, ketone levels may become dramatically elevated and cause dangerous changes in physiology such as a metabolic acidosis.
Increases in respiratory system respond to ketoacidosis ,keto acids are being put into the blood stream due to starvation.

Discuss how the blood, the cardiovascular system, and the
muscular system as well as the respiratory system all contribute to
respiration. Finally, discuss how breathed-in pollutants, such as
smoke or asbestos, interfere with the respiration process and may
lead to cancer.

Complete this Case Study: Bob is a 64-year-old male admitted to
the emergency room for asthma. His laboratory results are as
follows: pH 7.31, pCO2 higher than normal, and total
HCO3– also higher than normal. Classify his
acid-base balance as acidosis or alkalosis, and as metabolic or
respiratory. Is there evidence of compensation? Propose the
