Kidneys
What are the 2 buffer systems used in the chemical system to regulate [H+] in body fluids in the ECF?
Bicarbonate buffer system and Phosphate buffer system
Most Powerful EC BufferMost Powerful EC Buffer

Concentration significantly lower than Bicarbonate system
Important for buffering renal tubular fluids and ICF
Phosphate buffer system
_____% of the total chemical buffering of the body fluids is inside the cells
60-70%
_____ system
Regulates the removal of CO2(and acid)
Change VA
Seconds to minutes (maximal in hours) “fast.”
Respiratory system
Three processes facilitate ____ transport:
- 10% dissolved in plasma
- 25% binds to amino groups in Hb(carbaminohemoglobin)
- Remainder converted to H2CO3 by CA in erythrocytes.
