Question	Answer
if ph drops due to respiratory dysfunction. rate CO2 production eceeds rate of elimation which results in RR rate and depth increasing to 'blow off' CO2	respiratory acidosis
if PH rises due to hyperventilation. rate of CO2 elimination exceeds rate of production which results in RR rate and depth decrease to conserve CO2	respiratory alkalosis
if pH drops due to a non respiratory cause.	metabolic acidosis
if pH rises to due a non respiratory cause	metabolic alkalosis
works quickly to maintain the narrow pH levels. binds excess H+ to increase pH or releases pH to decrease pH	buffer system
acts quickly. increasing rate and depth of breathing increases exhalation of CO2 to increase pH	respiratory system
maintains pH by controlling secretion and reabsorption of H+ and HCO3-	renal regulation oh pH
