How do the kidneys maintain the blood ph?
If the blood pH is below normal (alkaline), the kidneys will start conserving Hydrogen and doesn't prevent the loss of bicarb. When the pH is too high (acidic), it does the opposite, it gets rid of Hydrogen and prevent bicarb loss. The kidney is a filter, so it picks and chooses which substances should be put back into the blood stream and which should be urinated out.Hydrogen makes the pH rise, so that's the reason why the body wants to hang on to them when the pH is low. Bicarb plays a role in this because it takes hydrogen out of the blood stream by :HCO3 + H --> H2O3 ---> CO2 +H2OBy combining bicarb and Hydrogen, the eventual product is CO2 (which is breathed out) and H2O (which can be used or gotten rid of in various ways) but most importantly its not H by itself, so the pH decreases. The kidney is a key player in controlling how much hydrogen and bicarb is in the blood stream, so it's very important to maintaining pH.
Which of these monitor the pH levels in the blood?
The kidneys and the lungs play a role in monitoring and regulating pH levels in the blood. The kidneys help to excrete or retain bicarbonate ions to maintain blood pH, while the lungs control the levels of carbon dioxide, which can affect blood pH.
Can the kidneys excrete carbon dioxide?
no
Both the lungs and the kidneys are part of?
The kidneys and lungs are part of the excretory system. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide, and the kidneys excrete nitrogen-containing wastes in the form of urine.
What do the lungs excrete or remove from the body?
Lungs excrete carbon dioxide and kidneys excrete urea and other substance
What waste the kidneys excrete?
The end product of filtration and re-absorption in the kidneys is urine.
The kidneys help to regulate the PH of body fluids by controlling the?
excretion of hydrogen ions and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions. The kidneys also help regulate the balance of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and calcium, which can affect pH levels. Additionally, the kidneys produce and excrete urine, which helps to remove excess acids from the body, helping to maintain acid-base balance.
What organ controls pH levels?
The kidneys are responsible for regulating and controlling the body's pH levels by managing the balance of acids and bases in the blood. They can excrete excess acids or bases through urine to ensure the body maintains an optimal pH level.
How are the jobs of the lungs and large intestine similar to the job of your kidneys?
All of the organs mentioned excrete waste. The lungs excrete carbon dioxide, the large intestine excretes solid waste, and the kidneys excrete nitrogenous waste.
How do amphibians excrete waste?
I think it involves the Kidneys
How do Pisces fish excrete waste?
Pisces fish excrete waste through their gills and kidneys. Waste products such as ammonia are released into the water through their gills, while the kidneys help filter out and excrete other waste materials.
What do kidneys excret?
Kidneys excrete urea which is a less concentrated form of uric acid and toxic waste .
