Summary Introduction

To review:

The transport of acid (produced by metabolism) to the liver without any significant change in the pH of the blood.

Introduction:

Normal pH (potential of hydrogen) of the blood is 7.4 and its regulation is essential for the cellular activities. When acids are formed in certain metabolic pathways, they are transported to the blood and alter the pH. Any significant increase or decrease in the pH of the blood can result in certain conditions, such as alkalosis and acidosis, respectively. However, this condition is prevented as the blood containsbicarbonate buffer thatmaintains the blood pH.
