Many things in the human body are basic. Blood, for example, is slightly basic (having a pH of 7.35-7.45). Pancreatic fluid and cerebrospinal fluid are also slightly basic.

Bicarbonate is one of the most important bases in the human body because it acts as a buffer, meaning it helps to neutralize acids in the blood. The kidneys either retain or excrete bicarbonate to help control the pH of the blood.
