2. Acid-base balance requires the cooperation of both the lungs (essential for maintaining the pH by releasing carbon dioxide from our body) and kidneys (reabsorb bicarbonate from the urine back to the blood and secrete hydrogen ions into the urine). That being said, the organ systems that regulate acid-base balance in body fluid are the respiratory system and urinary system.
