Which buffer system is the most abundant in the body?
proteinprotein
Which buffer pairs is considered the major plasma buffering system?
what pair is considered the major plasma buffering system
What is the most important buffer in extracellular fluids?
Bicarbonate Buffer System (only important ECF buffer)
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+.
Compare the buffer system in the whole blood?
The blood contains buffers like bicarbonate and phosphate buffers. The bicarbonate buffer is by far, the most important.
Is it true the phosphate buffer system is relatively unimportant for buffering blood plasma?
white blood cells
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 buffer system operates in blood plasma Which memberof the buffer system resists a drop in pH Which resists a rise in pH?
Carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system Acids (H+) released into the blood by the body cells tend to lower the pH of the blood and cause it to be acidic. Alkali resists a rise in pH
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 type of digestion system do paramecium have?
intracellular
