Acid-Base Balance System (None)

Target
None
Molecular classification
Physiological regulatory system
01

Overview

The acid-base balance system is a physiological regulatory network that maintains the pH of blood and body fluids within a narrow, optimal range. This balance is essential for normal cellular function and overall homeostasis. The system ensures that the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in the blood remains stable, preventing harmful shifts toward acidosis (excess acidity) or alkalosis (excess alkalinity). The key components include buffer systems (bicarbonate/carbonic acid), the lungs (regulating CO₂), and the kidneys (adjusting H⁺ and bicarbonate excretion/reabsorption).
