I like this, I think it's awfully clever. Basically haemoglobin 'connects' with oxygen to make oxyhaemoglobin, it does this by changing its shape. As we respire (cell respiration, not breathing) we release CO2 - carbon dioxide - into the blood, CO2 dissolves in the water in the blood and lowers the pH - ie it becomes acidic. The acidity changes the shape of the oxyhaemoglobin which makes the haemoglobin release the oxygen molecules just where the cells need them.
What else can I help you with?
How do Carbonic acid and Bicarbonate works to maintain t pH blood?
Carbonic acid and bicarbonate act as a buffering system in the blood to maintain a stable pH. When there is excess acid in the blood, carbonic acid can dissociate into bicarbonate ions to absorb the excess hydrogen ions and help neutralize the acidity. Conversely, when there is excess base in the blood, bicarbonate ions can combine with hydrogen ions to help raise the pH. This dynamic equilibrium helps regulate and maintain the blood pH within a narrow range.
If the blood is more basic what pH do you suppose the urine will be?
I am not sure why you connect blood and urine pH. The pH of blood is critical to bodily finction/life, urine is a waste product. The pH of urine varies widely from mildly acid to mildly alkaline.
The pH of the blood is nearest to what number?
Blood pH = 7.40 (+/- 0.05) (THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THE PH OF BLOOD IS NEAREST TO WHAT NUMBER)=#7
What restores normanl pH in blood?
Bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) and carbonic acid (H2CO3) help to restore normal pH in blood. The body's buffering system, which includes these compounds, works to maintain blood pH within a tight range to support proper bodily functions and enzyme activity. If blood pH becomes too acidic, the body will increase the concentration of bicarbonate ions to help neutralize excess hydrogen ions and restore pH balance.
The pH of blood is slightly basic what pH numbers most closely reflects normal blood pH?
Normal Ph value of Blood 7.35 to 7.40.
What is the pH of blood of healthy person?
arterial blood pH = 7.41 and venous blood pH = 7.36. Because the normal pH of arterial blood is 7.41 a person is considered to have acidosis when the pH of blood falls below this value and to have alkalosis when the pH rises above 7.41. hope i helped :D
What is the normal pH of cow blood?
arterial blood pH = 7.41 (outgoing from heart) venous blood pH = 7.36 (returning to heart)
Why is pH blood level dangerous?
The normal pH of blood is 7,35-7,45.
The pH of the blood is nearest to which number?
Blood pH = 7.40 (+/- 0.05)7.4
Why are buffers needed in the blood?
because it is alkaline in nature
What is normal pH?
arterial blood pH = 7.41 (outgoing from heart) venous blood pH = 7.36 (returning to heart)
What is the pH range of the blood?
It's slightly alkaline and on an average is measured as 7.3 but ranges from: 7.2-7.4The normal pH of blood running through arteries (large elastic-walled blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body) is 7.4; the pH of blood in the veins (vessels that transports blood to the heart) is about 7.35.The measure of acidity of a substance is known as pH. Pure water, which has pH of 7, is neutral. Substances with a pH less than 7 are considered acidic and substances with a pH of greater than 7 are considered basic or alkaline. The normal pH of blood running through arteries (large elastic-walled blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body) is 7.4; the pH of blood in the veins (vessels that transports blood to the heart) is about 7.35. Normal urine pH averages about 6.0. Saliva has a pH between 6.0 and 7.4.Blood is between 7.36 and 7.41 pH, depending on whether it's arterial or venous. So it's fairly neutral.arterial blood pH = 7.41 (outgoing from heart)venous blood pH = 7.36 (returning to heart)
