  1. Which organ systems function to regulate acid-base balance in body fluid?

 

The respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the urinary system have their part in regulating body fluid. The cardiovascular system uses our blood to carry away carbon dioxide from our body. The respiratory system will release it through exhalations or release of air from the body and the urinary system will secrete it through bodily fluid.
