ASID AND BACE BALANCE
3 TYPES OF BUFFER THAT REGULATES BLOOD PH
CHEMICAL BUFFER
Hemoglobin (proteins) – effective chemical buffer
within cells and blood. Hemoglobin absorbs excess hydrogen ions when it is not carrying oxygen
Carbonate buffer (mixture of carbonic acid and sodium bicarbonate)
Phosphate buffer
Effects of alkalosis
Decreased myocardial contractility
Arrhythmias
Decreased cerebral blood flow
Confusion
Neuromuscular excitability
Effect of acidosis
Hyperventilation
Tachycardia
Vasoconstriction
how buffer regulates blood pH.
The acid level in blood is being maintained within
normal range by:
Chemical buffer system
Respiratory system
Urinary system
