Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The H₂CO₃:HCO₃- buffer system is known as the bicarbonate buffer system and is the primary ECF buffer for noncarbonic acids. It helps to maintain a stable pH in the plasma. Haemoglobin buffer system is important for maintaining the pH of oxygenated blood, phosphate buffer system works in intracellular fluid and urine, and protein buffer system works in intracellular and extracellular fluids.
