An individual is hospitalized and the initial blood work indicates high levels of
in the blood and a pH of 7. 47. This would indicate the individual probably has compensated respiratory acidosis.
A chronic illness usually leads to compensated respiratory acidosis because the kidneys have time to adjust to the delayed onset. Even if the
is elevated in a compensated respiratory acidosis, the pH is within the usual range.
The kidneys counteract a respiratory acidosis by increasing the amount of
that tubular cells reabsorb from the tubular fluid, the amount of
that collecting duct cells secrete while also producing
, and the amount of
buffer that is formed through ammoniagenesis.
Respiratory acidosis is frequently brought on by hypoventilation as a result of: breathing depression , paralysis of the respiratory muscles, diseases of the chest wall , abnormalities of the lung parenchyma and abdominal squeezing.

Explanation: Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei. These muscle fibers are striated (having transverse streaks) and each acts independently of neighboring muscle fibers.
