Organs that effect pH imbalance
Give this one a try later!
Lungs: respiratory system can alter carbonic acid levels to change pH
Kidneys: can modify excretion rate of acids and absorption of bicarbonate
ions to regulate pH
Causes of edema
Give this one a try later!
Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure, forcing excessive amounts of fluid
out and preventing re- turn of fluid from the interstitial compartment
Loss of plasma proteins, reducing plasma osmotic pressure
Obstruction of lymphatic circulation, restricting the return of excess fluid
, and protein to the gen- eral circulation
Increased capillary permeability—as in inflamma- tion, resulting in fluid and
protein movement into the interstitial compartment
