CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO3 → H* + HCO3 Review this formula and discuss the mechanisms involved in the forward and reverse components of the reaction by answering the following: 1. When CO₂ + H₂O combine to form carbonic acid, discuss the respiratory mechanisms involved to regulate the levels of CO₂ 2. Explain why exaggerated respiration (increased ventilation) help to decrease the levels of H 3. When carbonic acid dissociates into free H + HCO3 what role do the levels of bicarbonate play in regulating H+ ion levels? 4. Discuss at least (2) of the renal mechanisms used to regulate HCO3 levels. Required: Please view this video for guidance on how to successfully complete this case & prepare for the essays on Exam 4:
