Acid-Base Balance via Bicarbonate Precursor Metabolism (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Buffer system, Metabolic pathway, Physiological process
01
Overview
Acid-base balance via bicarbonate precursor metabolism refers to the physiological processes that maintain blood and tissue pH within a narrow range, primarily through the generation, reabsorption, and regulation of bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) ions. This system is central to acid-base homeostasis in humans and other animals. It involves the lungs regulating CO₂ levels through ventilation and the kidneys regulating systemic bicarbonate concentration by reabsorbing filtered bicarbonate, excreting excess acids or bases, and generating new bicarbonate from metabolic precursors.
