Bicarbonate Buffering System (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Buffer System, Chemical Equilibrium
01
Overview
The bicarbonate buffering system is the primary physiological buffer system, maintaining blood pH by balancing carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, and bicarbonate ions. The lungs regulate CO₂ concentration, while the kidneys control bicarbonate levels. Disruptions lead to acid-base imbalances like acidosis or alkalosis.
- Other names
- Carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system
02
Mechanism of action
Modulation of blood pH through the equilibrium between carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, and bicarbonate ions. Drugs can influence this system by affecting carbonic anhydrase activity, bicarbonate reabsorption/excretion, or by directly adding or removing acids/bases.
