∙ 14y agoPhysiological saline is just saline that may be used for physiological purposes i.e. be used within the human body. The optimum pH for this would be pH 7.4, almost neutral.

What is physiological solution?
a physiological solution is a solution that contains salts and other constituents in concentrations similar to physiological media. e.g. Ringer's solution, Tyrod's solution, buffered saline.
What is the reason for saline drops in the eye?
The purpose is to keep the eye moist, instead of dry as well as to maintain a proper PH balance.
What is meant by physiological pH of human?
The physiological pH of a human is a measure of the acidity of some area of the human body. The stomach, for example, has its own acidity (usually around 2, meaning very acidic), while the blood has a different acidity (about 7.4). These differences in acidity are very important in maitaining homeostasis in the body.
What substances regulate an organisms pH so it can maintain homeostasis?
There are three major systems that control pH levels. They are the respiratory system, the chemical and physiological buffering system, and the urinary system.
What modifications of conditions would be appropriate if the enzyme were to be used?
Physiological conditions, such as correct pH and heat in which the enzyme is able to function correctly, are required.
What is the difference between normal saline and physiological saline?
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
What is the difference between normal saline and physiologic saline?
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
What will be the pH of saline?
The optimum pH for this would be pH 7.4, almost neutral.
What amino acid would work best as a buffer close to physiological pH?
Histidine is the amino acid that function at the physiological PH. The reason being that the Pka value of his is 6.8 close to the physiological PH of the blood i.e. 7.4
Normal saline solution is for what?
0.9% NaCl solution (normal saline, physiological saline) is used to give intravenous fluids to the patients suffering from salt and water deprivation. It can be used to wash the wounds etc.
What is a common name for physiological salt solution?
Normal saline solution (9 g/L)
Is physiological pH about 7.4?
No, such a pH is basic as it is greater than 7. An acidic pH is less than 7.

What is the composition of physiological saline for insects?
9.1 g/l of NaCl, 0.52g/l of KCl, 1.2g/l of CaCl2.2H2O and 0.8g/l of MgCl2.6H2O constitute an insect saline.
What is the composition of physiological saline?
A physiological saline is a solution of salts and sugars intended to act as a medium for growing or maintaining live tissue. The solution mimics the salt concentrations of the tissues' natural environment, while providing some buffering to maintain the pH of the solution. Since different tissues from different species are subject to varying internal environments, a large number of physiological salines have been developed over the last century. For example, the original Ringer's solution was developed to mimic amphibian blood, Hank's solution was intended for human tissue, Cortland's saline was designed for the tissue of freshwater fishes, and phosphate-buffered saline is commonly used as a divalent-free saline that is isotonic with human blood. While the composition of every solution is unique, physiological salines developed for vertebrates (such as those mentioned above) have much in common. Such salines are predominately sodium chloride with a concentration of about 0.9% (or 9.0g/L). In lesser concentrations, they often include: sodium monobasic phosphate, sodium dibasic phosphate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnessium chloride, magnessium sulfate, and glucose.
Part of digestive tract lowest pH?
About 1-3 in the stomach. In the intestinal tract it tends to be near physiological pH (7.4).
