_______________ is one of the most important of the body's homeostatic mechanisms.
Regulations of this involves:(3 answers) |
Acid-base balance
blood& other body fluids lungs kidneys |
|
|
chemicals that prevent pH change
|
Buffer
|
|
|
arterial blood has higher pH due to less carbon dioxide
|
Respiratory mechanism
|
|
|
speed is monitored by carbon dioxide levels
|
Respiratory mechanism
|
|
|
exist as pairs
|
buffers
|
|
|
most effective regulation of blood pH
|
Urinary mechanism
|
|
|
decreased increases acidosis while decreased increases alkalosis
|
Respiratory mechanism
|
|
|
carbonic acid is blood due to carbon dioxide combining with water but balanced by Potassium salt of the hemoglobin
