Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To describe: The role of buffer systems in maintaining acid-base balance and pH.
Introduction: The body of a person is considered to be in acid-base balance when the pH of the body fluids of that person is within the normal range, and hydrogen ions that are produced are precisely offset because of the loss of hydrogen ions. This right balance of the base and acid within the body fluid is known as acid-base balance.
