Hemoglobin oxyhemoglobin is one of the main sources of extracellular fluids for the pH of body fluids. It helps with the protein of the body. It is needed for pH levels.

The buffer system in blood is formed by?
The buffer system that operates in blood plasma is the bicarbonate buffering system. The chemical equation for this system is the following CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3 <--> HCO3- + H+.
Is HCl and sodium citrate a buffer system?
no
What is the following fastest mechanism of regulation of acid base balance?
bicarbonate buffer system
Is the bicarbonate buffer system the term used to describe alkaline reserve?
no you dum dog
What happens when you add NaCl salt in it's solid state to a phosphate buffer system?
Bonds to the phosphate
What is the most important buffer in extracellular fluids?
Bicarbonate Buffer System (only important ECF buffer)
How does the Blood buffer system work?
Buffer systems help to maintain constant plasma pH. There are three buffer systems: Protein buffer system, phosphate buffer system and bicarbonate buffer system. Among these, the bicarbonate buffer system is the most predominant. Buffer Systems function as "shock absorbers" that accept excess H+ ions or OH- ions and keep blood pH constant. For example, if there is an increase in acidity of blood due to excess HCl (a strong acid), then NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) will buffer it to a weak acid (H2CO3). HCl+NaHCO3 = NaCl+H2CO3

What are different types of buffering system?
1. Bicarbonate buffer system 2. Protein buffer system 3. Phosphate buffer system
Which buffer system acts the fastest?
bicarbonate buffer is instant, followed by respiratory, renal, and phosphate.
What system maintains the pH human blood at the very near 7.4?
Processes like cellular respiration or anaerobic respiration can cause changes in our blood pH. Luckily we have buffer systems that help maintain our blood's pH. There are three different buffer systems including the bicarbonate buffer, phosphate buffer and proteins with carbonyl group chemicals.

By what three methods is Hydrogen concentration in body fluids regulated?
pH is regulated generally in the stomach, when food is broken down. Acids are introduced to dissolve food and i think then bile is introduced to neutralize the acid, so you don't get eaten from the inside out. Which would be unfortunate.
What happens if the buffer system are overwhelmed and the blood becomes excessively basic?
The organism will die. The body must maintain a balanced pH to run all of the systems properly.
How does the pulmonary and renal mechanisms work together to support the chemical buffer system?
The pulmonary and renal mechanism work together to support the chemical buffer system through bringing the body into a state of homeostasis as the kidney helps to maintain the acid-base balance by excreting either an acid or an alkaline in urine or through respiration.
