The body can break down carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. (It can exhale carbon dioxide and either uses or urinates out the water.) Carbonic acid is part of the system that keeps the pH of your blood stable. When your blood starts to get too acidic, it converts the excess carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. When you blood gets too basic/alkaline, it converts the excess carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid.

What is the function of human anus?
THE ANUS IS WHERE YOUR HUMAN WASTE COMES OUT FROM ( POO) YOUR BACK SIDE AND DELIVERS TO THE TOILET.
What organ of excretion is the largest in the body and gets rid of heat and urea?
The organ that excretes Urea compounds are the kidneys, BUT they do not excrete HEAT. No organ of the human body EXCRETES heat.
Why do you need the excretory system?
excretory system is important to a human begin because through the excretory system we are able to get rid of all the waste products in our body the lungs get rid of waste air, the body get rid of waste and the kidneys get rid of urine.
Which gas stimulates us to breathe?
breathing is controlled by the level of co2 in the blood, (not due to the fact that there may be low amounts of o2), there are chemoreceptors that measure the pH level of the blood, remember that co2 can be transported in the blood as carbonic acid, thus this acid lowers the pH. if a low pH is detected, it sends nerve impulses to our brain, that stimulates us to breathe in an effort to get rid of the co2.
How does the body get rid of Carbon Dioxide?
The body gets rid of carbon dioxide because it is a waste product, and like every other waste product, it has to come out or you will get sick, or in this case, die. Specifically, carbon dioxide within the plasma exchanges acts to make the body more acidic and the change in pH affects the ability of enzymes to function properly. The pH is therefore tightly controlled.
What causes acidity in human body?
Living. You produce CO2 as a side product in all metabolism, and it produces carbonic acid. The lungs get rid of the CO2 and control the body's pH. The kidney also have a role, but their job is to remove organic acids - mostly sulfa (H2SO4) from protein breakdown.
What opening gets rid of solid waste in the human body?
The anus gets rid of solid waste in the human body
Do endorphins rid the body of sodium?

How is blood chemistry related to ventilation?
Ventilation is controlled by certain centers in the brain stem that monitor the pH of the blood.The pH is usually a result of the amount of carbonic acid in the present in the blood. Carbonic acid is the 'transportable' form of CO2. Therefore, if the pH is too low, the body thinks it needs to get rid of carbon dioxide and does so by increasing ventilation which allows CO2 to be "blown off". Furthermore, if the pH gets too high, ventilation will be suppresses to allow carbonic acid to "build up" to decrease the pH.However, the pH can be changed by other acid/basic chemical accumulations/deficiencies in the blood, and the same ventilation responses result. For example, even if the carbonic acid level is NORMAL, if there is an increase inlactic acid, the blood pH will decrease. This will cause ventilation to increase to blow off some carbonic acid (even though the carbonic acid is normal) to try to raise pH back to normal.Therefore, we know that although breathing is INDIRECTLY related to CO2 levels MOST OF THE TIME, it is ALWAYS DIRECTLY related to pH levels, and decreased pH causes increased ventilation, while increased pH causes decreased ventilation.
Why is it necessary to rid distilled water of CO2?
because when co2 dissolves in water, it creates carbonic acid which is very acidic...when titrating an acid/base reaction, this requires more base since the "water" would now be acidic
