Answer 7

Carbonic Acid (H2CO3) / BiCarbonate (HCO3) Buffer System

Question 8

With regard to the BALANCE & REGULATION of pH in the body, this buffering system (_____ _____ _____) reacts in MINUTES, to adjust the amount/levels of Carbonic Acid in the body via regulating CO2 values via what means/method?:

Answer 8

(Respiratory Buffering System); Lungs/Respiratory Drive (Tachypnea / Bradypnea)

Question 9

With regard to the BALANCE & REGULATION of pH in the body, this buffering system (_____) reacts in HOURS to DAYS, to adjust the amount/levels of HCO3 (Bicarbonate); This buffer system is also considered the longest with regards to how it maintains appropriate levels of HCO3 in the body:
