2.Which organ systems function to regulate acid-base balance in body fluid?
-
The organ systems involved in the acid-base balance are the respiratory system and the urinary system. The primary organ involved in the regulation are the lungs and kidneys, wherein the lungs are responsible for maintaining the normal pH level through the excretion of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the kidneys are responsible for the reabsorption of HCO3(Bicarbonate) and the secretion of H+(Hydrogen) ions into the urine.
