Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The buffer resists the changes of the pH in a solution by converting the strong acid to the weak acid or the strong base to the weak base. Physiological as well as chemical buffer systems regulate the stabilization and homeostasis of the body pH.

Chemical buffer: It is a substance that binds to hydrogen ions and removes them from a solution when the concentration of hydrogen ions begins to increase or the substance releases hydrogen ions to the solution when the concentration of hydrogen ions begins to decrease. Within a second, the normal pH of the solution is restored by the chemical buffers. The chemical buffer systems are categorized into three types namely bicarbonate, the phosphate, and the protein systems.
