The blood pH level needs to be maintained, otherwise it can lead to diseases and possibly even death. It is important for the body to maintain an ideal blood pH level , which is in the range of 7.35 - 7.45.
The difference between acid/alkaline ph in the body is very small and eating the wrong food (ie sugar) can and will make your body more acidic, which may cause/increase the risk on many illnesses (ie cancer). So eats lots of fruit/veg and avoid processed foods/drinks

∙ 13y agoThe pH is an indicator of the levels of carbon dioxide in your blood. Through the blood buffering system, an accumulation of carbon dioxide results in the production of carbonic acid, which makes blood more acidic. The more acidic a solution is, the lower its pH.
The brainstem tests the blood for pH and thus carbon dioxide levels. If the pH level is too low, then the brainstem increases respiration rate by stimulating the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (controls breathing) more frequently. This will increase oxygen and decrease carbon dioxide until the pH of the blood is back to normal.

What element is important in maintaining the pH of blood?
hydrogen
What chemical species keeps H3Oplus in blood at the appropite pH?
The most important buffer system in blood is H2CO3/HCO3- (carbonic acid / bicarbonate) at pH = 7.35 and 37oC
Why is it important to maintain blood pH within a narrow range Explain?
Blood pH has an ideal level of about 7.3 to 7.4. It is important for the pH of blood to remain constant because if your blood pH varies just a little bit, it can kill you.
The pH of the blood is nearest to what number?
Blood pH = 7.40 (+/- 0.05) (THIS IS THE ANSWER TO THE PH OF BLOOD IS NEAREST TO WHAT NUMBER)=#7
What is the pH of your blood and your cells?
The pH of human blood is about 7.4.
The pH of blood is slightly basic what pH numbers most closely reflects normal blood pH?
Normal Ph value of Blood 7.35 to 7.40.
What happens if your blood pH levels are too high or too low?
The pH level of your blood is extremely important. The ideal pH level for blood is around 7.35, and your body goes to enormous lengths to maintain this level. If your blood pH were to vary 1 or 2 points in either direction, it would change the electrical chemistry in your body; there would then be no electrical "power," and in a very short time, you would die. This means that if your pH level is either too high [alkaline] or too low [acid], you will become ill, perhaps even die. A healthy pH level is very important to your health.
What is the pH of blood of healthy person?
arterial blood pH = 7.41 and venous blood pH = 7.36. Because the normal pH of arterial blood is 7.41 a person is considered to have acidosis when the pH of blood falls below this value and to have alkalosis when the pH rises above 7.41. hope i helped :D
PH value of blood?
The pH value of blood is 7.38 to be exact.
What is the pH level of salt in blood?
Blood pH should be 7.4.
PH of blood plasma?
The pH of the blood plasma is 7.35-7.45
What salts keep your blood healthy?
Sodium (from sodium chloride) is indispensable for lifebecause it is important for theregulation of blood pressure, pH, blood volume, osmotic pressure.
