Answer 1

Acidosis - A process that tends to lower the extracellular fluid pH .This can be caused by a fall in the serum bicarbonate(HCO3) concentration and or an elevation in PCO2.

Alkalosis-A process that tend to raise the extracellular fluid pH.This can be caused by an elevation in the serum HCO3 concentration and or a fall in PCO2.

Metabolic acidosis- A disorder that causes reductions in the serum HCO3 concentration and PH

Metabolic alkalosis-A disorder that causes elevations in the serum HCO3 concentration and pH

Respiratory acidosis-A disorder that causes an elevation in arterial PCO2 and a reduction in pH

Respiratory alkalosis-A disorder that causes a reduction in arterial PCO2 and an increase in pH
