A buffer is something that regulates or maintains the pH in the body. In the human body, carbonate is the main buffer in the blood and phosphate is the main buffer within cells.

Buffer and its mechanism of action?
A buffer solution works under the combined principle of common ion effect and Le Chatelier's principle
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.
Is acetic acid a bio buffer or not?
No acitic acid is not a bio buffer.In body only three main buffer are presentPhosphate bufferbicarbonate bufferprotein buffer(hemoglobin)
What is the connection between buffer action and Le Chatelier's principle?
Buffer action refers to the ability of a buffer solution to resist changes in its pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress, it will respond by shifting in the direction that helps to relieve that stress. In the case of a buffer solution, adding small amounts of acid or base can be considered a stress. The buffer solution will respond by shifting its equilibrium so as to consume the added acid or base, thereby maintaining a relatively stable pH.
What chemicals are produced by the body to neutralize acids or bases?
buffer
