The pH of blood varies directly with (a) HCO3−, (b) PCO2, (c) H+, (d) none of the above.
The pH of human blood is buffered at 7.35 to 7.45. If the [OH-] of the blood sample is 6.3x10-6, calculate its pH value. Is the patient’s pH within the range? Or is experiencing acidosis or alkalosis condition?
What is the function of the buffer bicarbonate in the human body?
