  2. Histotoxic hypoxia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histotoxic_hypoxia

    Oxygen extraction decreases in parallel with the lower oxygen consumption, with a resulting increase in venous oxygen content and PvO2. Although cyanide stimulates the peripheral respiratory chemoreceptors, increasing the inspired oxygen fraction is not helpful, since there is already an adequate amount of oxygen which the poisoned cells cannot ...

  3. Lactic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acidosis

    Lactic acidosis can also be the result of illnesses, medications, poisonings or inborn errors of metabolism that interfere directly with oxygen utilization by cells. [ 1 ] The symptoms are generally attributable to the underlying cause, but may include nausea , vomiting , shortness of breath, and generalised weakness.

  4. Hypoxia (medicine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medicine)

    An arterial blood gas test (ABG) may be done, which usually includes measurements of oxygen content, hemoglobin, oxygen saturation (how much of the hemoglobin is carrying oxygen), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (P a O 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P a CO 2), blood pH level, and bicarbonate (HCO 3) [92]

  5. Reperfusion injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reperfusion_injury

    The restored blood flow reintroduces oxygen within cells that damages cellular proteins, DNA, and the plasma membrane. Damage to the cell's membrane may in turn cause the release of more free radicals. Such reactive species may also act indirectly in redox signaling to turn on apoptosis. White blood cells may also bind to the endothelium of ...

  6. Cell damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_damage

    The most notable components of the cell that are targets of cell damage are the DNA and the cell membrane. DNA damage: In human cells, both normal metabolic activities and environmental factors such as ultraviolet light and other radiations can cause DNA damage, resulting in as many as one million individual molecular lesions per cell per day. [5]

  7. Soil acidification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_acidification

    This compound causes rainfall pH to be around 5.0–5.5. When rainfall has a lower pH than natural levels, it can cause rapid acidification of soil. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are precursors of stronger acids that can lead to acid rain production when they react with water in the atmosphere.

  8. Respiratory acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_acidosis

    The expected change in pH with respiratory acidosis can be estimated with the following equations: [citation needed] Acute respiratory acidosis: Change in pH = 0.08 X ((40 − PaCO 2)/10) Chronic respiratory acidosis: Change in pH = 0.03 X ((40 − PaCO 2)/10) Respiratory acidosis does not have a great effect on electrolyte levels. Some small ...

  9. Ion trapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_trapping

    In cell biology, ion trapping is the build-up of a higher concentration of a chemical across a cell membrane due to the pKa value of the chemical and difference of pH across the cell membrane. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This results in basic chemicals accumulating in acidic bodily fluids such as the cytosol , and acidic chemicals accumulating in basic fluids.
