What prevents the pH of urine from becoming too acidic?
your kidneys buffer it, reabsorption of potassium and sodium
How do the kidneys help to prevent blood pH from rising?
If blood pH is too low (ph < 7.35 ) = acidosis If blood pH is too high (pH > 7.45) = alkalosis In alkalosis: at the intercalated cells of the collecting duct the following occurs: secretion of Hco3- (via Hco3- / cl- antiporters) into the glomerular filtrate, which ultimately forms the urine. Rebsorption of Hydrogen ions (via ATPase dependant proton pumps)
Do the tubule cells of the kidneys excrete bicarbonate ions and retain hydrogen ions become to acidic?
more hydrogen ions from blood to urine
Why is blood acidosis not really acidic?
Your body attempts to regulate any change in the pH of your blood. If your blood is too basic, your body's natural response is acidosis.
What are small organs that remove waste from the blood as it travels through the kidneys?
It is the Kidneys that remove the waste products from the blood and filtration of the blood is done by the glomeruli of the kidneys.
When the kidneys increase the excretion of bicarbonate the pH will?
ph will become elevated and blood will be more acidic

When blood pH becomes to acidic the tubule cells of the kidneys excrete bicarbonate ions and retain hydrogen ions?
false
What is the name of the condition when your blood gets too acidic?
Acidosis
What filters blood from waste?
For waste filtering, the kidneys. The liver filters blood, too, but not of wastes.
Why is urine slightly acidic?
It has to do with the kidneys filtration
Does the appendix filter blood?
Yes, but your kidneys and liver filter your blood too so you can live without an appendix.
Do the tubule cells of the kidneys excrete bicarbonate ions and retain hydrogen ions become to acidic?
more hydrogen ions from blood to urine
When blood become too acid or too basic what helps restore it to normal pH?
Respiratory System and the Kidneys
How does blood get cleaned in the kidneys?
Actually I believe that in the kidneys there are little compartments in the kidneys that the blood goes through and at some point the blood gets filtered and the blood falls through but the bad stuff gets captured because the things that the blood goes through is too small for the bad stuff to get through. Its like how a colander works.
In the exchange reaction in which the kidneys secrete H ions into the urine and reabsorb Na from the urine what happens?
make the urine more acidic while adding buffers to the blood
