How Does The Carbonic Acid Bicarbonate Buffer System Maintain Blood PH?
How Does The Carbonic Acid Bicarbonate Buffer System Maintain Blood PH? The buffer that maintains the pH of human blood involves carbonic acid (H2CO3), bicarbonate ion (HCO3–), and carbon dioxide (CO2). When bicarbonate ions combine with free hydrogen ions and become carbonic acid, hydrogen ions are removed, moderating pH changes. How does the bicarbonate buffer
