Can someone help me fill in the blanks. Im confused bc my physio textbook and MCAT solutions say two different things
Renal regulation (compensation) in the nephrons:
HYPERVENTILATION (resp alkalosis)-- What does the kidney do to compensate?? Does it excrete/secrete or reabsorb...or both?
-i thought it was: HCO3 (base) secretion/excretion into filtrate and H (acid) reabsorption into the plasma/blood.
I read somewhere it was H2CO3 secretion--i thought h2co3 was just an enzyme?
HYPOVENTILATION: (resp acidosis)--
-i thought it was: HCO3 (base) reabsorbtion into the blood, and H (acid)excretion into the filltrate. What does H2CO3 do?
