What system maintains the pH of human blood at very near to 7.4?

Processes like cellular respiration or anaerobic respiration can cause changes in our blood pH. Luckily we have buffer systems that help maintain our blood's pH. There are three different buffer systems including the bicarbonate buffer, phosphate buffer and proteins with carbonyl group chemicals.

∙ 14y agoA buffer system is made up of a weak acid/base and its conjugate base/acid. Withing the blood the main molecules involved are CO2 and HCO3. When CO2 combines with water is produces H and HCO3 and as this is a reversible reaction these molecules are definively a buffer.

∙ 7y agoThe body has three ways to handle changes in serum pH:
1. Physiologic buffers which are the bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffering system, intracellular protein buffers, and phosphate buffers in the bone.
2. Pulmonary compensation, in which changes in breathing work to change the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and drive the pH toward the normal range. A drop in pH, for example, results in increased breathing to blow off excess CO2.
An increase in pH decreases breathing, which increases PaCO2 and lowers the pH back toward normal.
3. Renal compensation, which kicks in when the other mechanisms have been ineffective, generally after about 6 hours of sustained acidosis or alkalosis.
While respiratory compensation occurs almost immediately, renal mechanisms can take hours to days to make a difference.

Is Human body open or closed loop control system?
open (in terms of thermo chemistry) ! It cannot be proved with science yet! BUT WHEN ONE TOUCHES SOMEONE, LOOKS THEM IN THE EYE, so forth one feels the exchange of energy(emotions). they are being effected by the surrounding !
What is the difference between cardiovascular system and lymphatic system?
The primary function of the circulatory system is transportation. The need for an efficient transportation system in the body is critical. Transportation needs include continuous movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide, nutrients, hormones and other important substances. Wastes produced by the cells are released into the bloodstream on an ongoing basis and are transported by the blood to the excretory organs. The circulatory system also helps regulate body temperature by distributing heat throughout the body and by assisting in retaining or releasing heat from the body by regulating blood flow near the body surface. Certain cells of the circulatory system can also become involved in the defense of the body or immunity. The Lymphatic systems function includes the movement of fluids and certain large molecules from the tissue spaces around the cells and movement of fat-related nutrients from the digestive tract back to the blood. The lymphatic system is also involved in the functioning of the immune system, which plays a critical role in the defense mechanism of the body against disease.
How does the skin help in the regulation of temperature when it is hot?
On a warm day, vessels near the skin will undergo vasodilation in which blood vessels near the surface of skin will widen. This will cause the blood flow near the skin to increase and therefore transfer body heat to the environment, allowing the body to stay cool.
