Respiratory acidosisis that which the
blood is low due increased
retention of dioxide caused by
lowering of the
frequency or by diseases
that impair gas exchange. So
cause of the acidosis is the
respiration. Metabolic
acidosis that in which blood pH is
not due to pulmonary retention
of dioxide but due metabolic
disturbances. Some
disturbances result in in the
blood nonvolatile acids that
hydrogen ions lowering blood pH
(e.g., ketoacidosis).

Respiratory alkalosis that in which
pH is high to increased expelling
carbon dioxide caused elevated
respiratory frequency.
alkalosisis the alkalosis by
metabolic disturbances increase the
concentration bases (alkalis)in the
