Summary Introduction

To review:

The mechanism by which the chemical buffer systems resist changes in pH.

Introduction:

A buffer system is a solution that resists a change in pH due to addition of acids or bases.

They maintain the pH and work together by resisting the change in pH in various fluid compartments.
