The urinary system and respiratory system are the two main modulators of pH levels in the body. The respiratory system adjusts the pH by the expiration of carbon dioxide since carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid when combined with water. The urinary system affects pH levels through reabsorption of bicarbonate and excretion of fixed acids
