An important physiological buffer is the Digestive System's Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = H+ + HCO3- The bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is made by the pancreas. This is one of the pancrea's many exocrine functions. The bicarbonate helps to counteract the HCl released into the stomach thus maintaining the pH balanced.

What are the important buffers in our body?
There are many buffers in the body. These buffers can be found in the mouth and in the stomach to aid in digestion.
Why are some proteins important biological buffers?
They work in the blood stream to wmaintain normal pH levels.They are the first line of defence in maintaining the pH.
What is the functions of buffer?
to resist drastic changes in the pH of a solution
What are weak acids or weak bases that can react with strong acids or bases to keep the pH?
Solutions containing these mixtures are called buffers.
Why is it important to add pH buffers to microbiological media?
it is important to maintain them because most bacterias die at high temperature and more pH and fail to grow in low temperature and pH. therefore the ideal pH and temperature for their growth is 7 and 37 degrees respectively.
Why are buffers important for maintaining aquarium life?
Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.
What are the important buffers in our body?
There are many buffers in the body. These buffers can be found in the mouth and in the stomach to aid in digestion.
What is a buffers function in regards to normal cell formation.?
Buffers do play a very important part in cell function. With out buffers cells could die. This is why buffers are put in affect. A buffer is a compound used to release H or accept it to change the cells H concentration.
Why are some proteins important biological buffers?
They work in the blood stream to wmaintain normal pH levels.They are the first line of defence in maintaining the pH.
How is the pH level of a substance affected by buffers and why are buffers important in the human body?
Buffers "slow" changes in pH (they make it difficult to change pH), and for animals a constant pH (internally) is critical to survival. (A change in pH of 1 - in either direction - will kill you.)
Which protein is the most important physiologically in the transport of carbon dioxide by blood?
Sincerely, carbonic anhydrase enzyme. Followed by hemoglobin
What is the most important protein in the physiologically transport of carbon dioxide by blood?
The Bicarbonate Buffer System
Where are pH buffers found?
See this link for a list of buffers.
When did Buffers Evolution happen?
Buffers Evolution happened in 1999.
How are buffers formed?
Different buffers are formed in different ways. Heat buffers are formed by creating a physical substances in most cases for example.
What is the chemical substance that resists change in pH?
You think to chemical buffers.
