Chapter 25, Problem 25.26E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The systems that cooperate to maintain the $\text{pH}$ of blood in $7.35-7.45$ range are to be stated. The system that responds rapidly to the change in $\text{pH}$ of blood is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The normal $\text{pH}$ of blood lies between $7.35$ and $7.45$. The $\text{pH}$ of blood can increase or decrease when acid or base is added to it. Alkalosis and acidosis are the two conditions which arises when the change in the $\text{pH}$ of blood occurs.
