Question
Chapter 15, Problem 20SAE
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. There are three main buffer systems in the body: phosphate system, bicarbonate system, and the protein system. They maintain the pH and work together by resisting the change in pH in various fluid compartments.
