A decreased pH coupled with a decreased plasma concentration of bicarbonate ion indicates that acidosis is occurring and the respiratory system will compensate for this change.
<span>Acidosis (metabolic) is a state when increased acidity in the blood occurs and it usually refers when arterial pH falls below 7.35. Metabolic acidosis may result from increased production of metabolic acids (lactic, for example) and is characterized by low pH, low blood HCO3, and normal or low PaCO2. Metabolic acidosis is compensated with an increased exhalation of CO2 to reduce metabolic acid.</span>
The answer is false.
The group of similar cells working together to perform a specific job is called a tissue. The functional group of multiple tissues is called organ. Functionally related organs form organ systems, which all together form one organism.
So, surgeon is working at the organ level. The lungs are the organs of transpiration. Since they are organs, they consist of multiple tissues, which consist of many cells. But the surgeon does not work on one single cell, he works with the whole organ.
