Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The respiratory system works with the urinary system to regulate the pH of body fluids by eliminating excess carbon dioxide (which is acidic when dissolved in water) through exhalation, therefore reducing the acidity of body fluids. The urinary system helps to regulate pH by controlling the elimination of hydrogen ions (which are acidic) and bicarbonate ions (which are basic) in the urine.
