Acid-Base Regulation

To the tune of "Dreams" by The Cranberries
CO2
Excretion
Through respiration
It is less
Than the production
Through hypoventilation
The kidneys will compensate
Accumulating bicarbonate
Through increased reabsorption
And the kidneys will remove
The protons that build up too
Helping restore pH
CO2
Excretion
Through respiration
It exceeds
Normal production
Through hyperventilation
The kidneys slowly excrete
Reabsorption will decrease
Of bicarbonate
This will help to compensate
And will help restore pH
Less protons are secreted
Metabolic
Acidosis can be caused by
Exhaustive exercise
Ventilation
Helps restore pH
Increases CO2 expiration
