Solutions containing these mixtures are called buffers.
Buffers help to stabilize blood pH levels by acting as a reservoir for hydrogen ions. When there is an increase in hydrogen ions, buffers can absorb them to prevent a drastic change in pH. Conversely, when there is a decrease in hydrogen ions, buffers can release them to maintain a stable pH level in the blood.
to maintain the pH
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.)
Buffers help maintain pH balance in a solution by resisting changes in pH when acids or bases are added. They do this by accepting or donating hydrogen ions to keep the pH stable.
Buffers resist pH changes in cell cytoplasm, and in extracellular fluids.
acidic buffers increase pH as temperature increases, basic buffers decrease pH as temperature increases I am still searching for the reason.
Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.
A buffer solution is a chemical substance that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. Buffers are made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid, which work together to maintain the pH of a solution.

by using buffers (if needed)
Yes, buffers can release or absorb H+ ions to help maintain a relatively stable pH when an acid or base is added. When the pH of a solution increases, some buffers can release H+ ions to counteract the change and prevent a drastic shift in pH.
