Question

how acid-base balance causes metabolic acidosis? trying to explain to the person who does not anatomy.

Answer 1

Metabolic acidosis occurs due to excessive generation of the acids during the metabolic reaction or when less acids are excreted from the blood.

Acidosis is the condition in which blood contains more H+ ions than normally. When body generates excessive acids such as lactic acid durin the excersie or aetoacetic acid in diabetes ketoacidosis, or in kidney disorders where less H= are excreted fron the blood into the urine, H+ ion concentration builds up in the blood leading to the metabolic acidosis.
