How does the respiratory system respond to metabolic alkalosis? It wouldn’t, only the kidneys do it would increase the breathing rate (hyperventilate) you would keep breathing normally it would decrease the breathing rate (hypoventilate) If blood oxygen is low, how do the kidneys compensate? they produce more urine they produce erythropoietin they increase the uptake of oxygen they decrease the amount of urine output How is pH affected by hypoventilation? it is decreased no effect it is increased it increases dramatically and then levels offAs the amount of surfactant increased, what happened to the total airflow? first it decreased slightly and then it rose quickly it decreased no effect it increased
