Blood Gas Basics: Respiratory Acidosis & Alkalosis (Physiology & Interpretation made simple)

Why does CO2 make the blood acidic? How does the respiratory system affect pH? This short animated video breaks down the basic physiology of respiratory acidosis and alkalosis.
INCLUDES
-how the build of Carbon Dioxide in the blood can lead to the production of Carbonic Acid affecting the pH of an ABG.
-the role of the respiratory system in removing CO2 from the body.
-How 'hyper' or 'hypo' ventilation can lead to either respiratory acidosis or Alkalosis.
