    Study Notes

    Blood pH Regulation

    • Blood pH is primarily responsible for regulating the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in the blood.
    • The blood pH regulatory system regulates the balance of three important ions: hydrogen ions (H+), bicarbonate ions (HCO3-), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
    • The primary function of the blood pH regulatory system is to maintain a narrow pH range of 7.35-7.45, which is crucial for proper cellular function.
    • An imbalance of blood pH can lead to serious health consequences, including respiratory and metabolic acidosis or alkalosis.
    • The ions involved in the regulation of blood pH are hydrogen ions (H+), bicarbonate ions (HCO3-), and carbon dioxide (CO2), which work together to maintain acid-base homeostasis.
