The Controller and Acid-Base Physiology: An Introduction to a Complex Process

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

Use this diagram to vary the and/or and observe how the blood changes. In this figure, we introduce the "balance" analogy, depicting the interplay between , , and . In reality, a change in one of the parameters in this diagram would lead to compensatory processes. For example, a change in would acutely cause a change in by driving the reaction toward the right side. In this diagram, we allow you to vary and independently with the sliders to calculate the given by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for various and combinations.
