kidneys and lungs
Lungs and kindeys
The kidneys
generating ATP, which is the primary energy currency of cells. Phosphorus is also involved in the buffering system that helps regulate the pH level in cells and maintain their acid-base balance. Additionally, phosphorus is a component of DNA, RNA, and many other molecules involved in cell function and signaling.
Hydrogen
The most important buffer for maintaining acid-base balance in the blood is the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer.
One job of the kidneys is toA. regulate the pH of the blood. B. destroy old red blood cells. C. increase the salt and water balance in the blood. D. produce urea from amino groups and ammonia
Lungs and Kidneys
Proteins (-) attract hydrogen (+).
Urinary System
Important in the production and maintenance of teeth and bone. Used to help regulate the acid/base balance in the body.

H3o3
The kidneys regulate electrolytes, Ph balance (acid base balance) and blood pressure. The kidneys also filter waste from blood which is excreted in urine. The kidney also produces hormones that aid in the absorption of calcium and production of red blood cells.
maintaining HCO3- balance
A chief function of carbonic acid in the body is to regulate blood pH. It acts as a buffer system, helping to maintain the acid-base balance. Carbonic acid can dissociate into bicarbonate ions, which act as a pH buffer by accepting or donating hydrogen ions as needed to maintain the pH within a narrow range.
