2 In this sheet we will continue taking about Titration curve and Buffers in human body. Let s begin Titration curve of phosphate buffer: 1. There are 3 buffering capacities (3 pka values), where the buffer resists changes in the ph in 3 regions, depending on the ability/easiness of the proton to be dissociated from the acid. 2. First neutralization for acid/base is reached at 1 equivalent. (Specifically; neutralization occurs between OH and the proton of H3PO4). 3. In the first buffering capacity; When ph < pka When ph > pka H3PO4 > H2P04 - ( The group is Protonated) H2P04 - > H3PO4 ( The group is Deprotonated) 2- The titration curve of H2P04 -, showing the buffer region for the H2P04 - / HP04 pair. 1 P a g e

3 Physiological Buffers in Human Body; ph inside our bodies (blood, cells, and organelles) must be maintained by: 1. Carbonic acid-bicarbonate system in the blood. 2. Dihydrogen phosphate-monohydrogen phosphate system (intracellular), this is where phosphate ion concentrations are high enough for the buffer to be effective. 3. Proteins (haemoglobin in blood, and other proteins in blood and inside cells): function as enzymes, binding proteins, cytoskeletal proteins. They can maintain and regulate the ph inside our system because they are composed of amino acids which have groups that accept and donate protons. Bicarbonate Buffer The buffering system in blood is based on the dissociation of carbonic acid into CO2 and H2O enzymatically in the lungs (regulated by the respiratory system), or into H + and HCO3 instantaneously in the blood (regulated by the kidneys). Mainly in our bodies, the amount of Carbonic acid is minimal, it doesn t even exist, because it is rapidly dissociating. 2 P a g e

4 Notice pka, even though the normal blood ph of 7.4 is outside the optimal buffering range of the bicarbonate buffer ( ), this buffer pair is important because; 1. Bicarbonate is present in a relatively high concentration in the ECF (24mmol/L). 2. The components of the buffer system are under physiological control: the CO2 by the lungs, and the bicarbonate by the kidneys. 3. It is an open system that continuously interacts with its environment (influenced by external factors). Arterial Blood Gases (ABG): It measures the amounts of certain gases (such as Oxygen and carbon dioxide) dissolved in arterial blood. The ratio of bicarbonate to carbonic acid determines the ph of the blood; and it is normally about 20:1 And by applying the Henderson Hasselbalch equation We choose the acid to be CO2 instead of H2CO3 because H2CO3 is rapidly dissociated and not present in the system. Note that CO2 is not represented by concentration because it is a gas, so it must be converted by multiplying its pressure by H2CO3 = 0.03 x pco2 Exercise: Blood plasma contains a total carbonate (HCO3-and CO2) of 2.52 x 10-2M. What is the HCO3-/CO2 ratio and the concentration of each buffer component at ph 7.4? 3 P a g e

5 When adding a strong acid: What would the ph be if 0.01 M H+ is added and CO2 is NOT eliminated (closed system)? According to the equation, when we add protons (0.01 M), the reaction will shift to the right, resulting in the decrease in the concentration of the carbonate ion by 0.01, and increase in the amount of CO2 by 0.01 because it is a closed system What would the ph be if 0.01 M H+ is added under physiological conditions (open system)? Because it is an open system, the increase in the amount of CO2 will be exhaled. So the concentration of CO2 will be at the end. The importance of the open system is to make the effect on ph minimal. Acidosis and Alkalosis Acidosis refers to an excess of acid in the blood that causes the ph to fall below 7.35 Alkalosis refers to an excess of base in the blood that causes the ph to rise above Both pathological conditions can be either metabolic or respiratory. For example; Acidosis: 1. Metabolic: production of ketone bodies (starvation) 2. Respiratory: pulmonary (asthma; emphysema) Alkalosis: 1. Metabolic: administration of salts or acids 2. Respiratory: hyperventilation (anxiety/ panic attacks) 4 P a g e

6 Remember; there are two organs that control the ph: the kidney (metabolic conditions) and the Lungs (respiratory conditions). Causes of Acidosis and Alkalosis Respiratory conditions (changes in the concentrartion of CO2) Metabolic conditions (changes in the concentrartion of H+) Respiratory Acidosis Respiratory Alkalosis Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic Alkalosis -increased concentrartion of CO2 -the reaction shifts to the left -protons increase -ph decreases -decreased concentration of CO2 -the reaction shifts to the right -protons decrease -ph increases -increased conentartion of H+ -ph decreases - decreased concentrartion of H+ -ph increases 5 P a g e

7 Compensation It is the change in HCO3 - or pco2 that results from the primary event. If underlying problem is metabolic, hyperventilation or hypoventilation occur: respiratory compensation. If the problem is respiratory, renal mechanisms can bring about metabolic compensation. May be complete: if ph is brought back to its normal limits. Partial compensation: if ph range is still outside norms. The basis of compensatory responses is to maintain the PCO2/[HCO3 - ] ratio The direction of the compensatory response is always the same as that of the initial change. Acid-Base Disorder Primary Change Compensatory Respiratory Acidosis pco2 up HCO3- up Respiratory Alkalosis pco2 down HCO3- down Metabolic Acidosis HCO3- down pco2 down Metabolic Alkalosis HCO3- up pco2 up Full Compensation: 6 P a g e

8 Partial Compensation: Examples: 1. Mrs. X is admitted with severe attack of asthma. Her arterial blood gas result is as follows: ph: 7.22 pco2: 55 HCO3 - : 25 Answer: Respiratory Acidosis ph is below normal range acidosis pco2 is high in the opposite direction of the ph respiratory HCO3 - is normal P a g e

9 2. Mr. D is admitted with recurring bowel obstruction has been experiencing intractable vomiting for the last several hours. His ABG is: ph: 7.5 pco2: 42 HCO3 - : 33 Answer: Metabolic alkalosis ph is high alkalosis pco2 is normal HCO3 - is high metabolic Mrs. H is kidney dialysis patient who has missed his last 2 appointments at the dialysis centre. His ABG results: ph: 7.32 pco2: 32 HCO3 - : 18 Answer: Partially compensated metabolic Acidosis ph is low acidosis pco2 is low HCO3 - is low - How can I decide if it is metabolic or respiratory? Taking example 3 into consideration; ph is below normal range acidosis Both concentrations (pco2/ HCO3 - ) are abnormal; the first probability is that pco2 is the primary change (decrease), then the reaction will be shifted to the right, HCO3 - will also decrease, and H+ will decrease, causing increased ph, however the question gave us decreased ph so the primary change is NOT pco2, therefore it is not respiratory. It is metabolic. - How do I know if compensation started or not? And how can I decide if it is full or partial compensation? If one of the concentrations is changed and the other is normal, then the compensation has not started yet. If both the CO2 and HCO3 - concentrations are abnormal > there is compensation If the ph reaches normal range, then it is full compensation, but if the ph doesn t reach normal range, then it is partial compensation 8 P a g e

10 4. Mr. K with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). His ABG is: ph: 7.35 pco2: 48 HCO3 - :30 Answer: Fully compensated Respiratory Acidosis Mr. S is a 53-year-old man presented to ED with the following ABG. ph: 7.51 pco2: 50 HCO3- : 40 Answer: Metabolic alkalosis with partial compensation Practice examples Answers: 1.
