∙ 11y agoenzymes in the body works at a very specific and narrow range of pH. if the pH goes higher, or lower than this range then the enzymes might work slowly or not work at all. Buffer solutions keeps the pH in this certain range

∙ 15y agoA buffer is in human blood to equalize/neutralize the pH (get it near 7). It neutralizes the pH coming/leaving the small intestine tract.

What allows you to eat acidic foods without changing your blood pH?
The buffers present in blood resist small changes in pH. The most prominent are phosphate and carbonate buffers in blood.
What is the definition of in-vivo buffers?
The buffers which are present in living organisms are called in-vivo buffers. The popular example is the carbonate buffer that maintains the level of our blood pH at 7.4.
Blood helps to regulate what through buffers?
veins
What does the plasma of the blood contains buffers to help regulate?
The ph of your blood which 7.4
Compare the buffer system in the whole blood?
The blood contains buffers like bicarbonate and phosphate buffers. The bicarbonate buffer is by far, the most important.
What are the examples of buffers?
blood
What are the natural buffers of the human body?
The normal PH level in the human body is 7.3. The natural buffers of the human body is needed so that the blood in the human body does not become to acidic. They are Amino Acids, Proteins, Phosphate, and Carbonate and Bicarbonate.
How is the pH maintained in solution?
by using buffers (if needed)

What might add to or remove from the blood to control its pH?
buffers
Weak acid or base that prevents sharp swings in pH?
A buffer is the substance that prevents rapid or large swings in pH. There are two types of buffers; acidic buffers and basic buffers.
Compare the buffer system in the whole blood?
The blood contains buffers like bicarbonate and phosphate buffers. The bicarbonate buffer is by far, the most important.
Why is good?
It increases the bloods affinity to oxygen and buffers carbonic acid in the blood.
Why does pH of blood remain constant?
Due to the presence of buffers like plasma
