Summary Introduction
Interpretation:
The bicarbonate is the main buffer system of the blood and phosphate is the main buffer system of cells is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The buffer solution consists an aqueous mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
Buffer system has the tendency to resist the change in theirpH.
The major buffer system in the humanbody is phosphate and carbonic acid–bicarbonate buffer system.
