Explain respiratory acidosis and list the common causes
What will be an ideal response?
Respiratory acidosis is the result of abnormal CO2 retention arising from hypoventilation. As less-than-normal amounts of CO2 are lost through the lungs, the resulting increase in CO2 generates more H+ from this source. Possible causes include lung disease, depression of the respiratory center by drugs or disease, nerve or muscle disorders that reduce respiratory muscle ability, or (transiently) even the simple act of holding one's breath.
