Buffering systems

Buffers:



Buffering systems of the human body are essential for maintaining homeostasis. Maintaining a constant pH of extracellular and intracellular fluids is also an essential part of homeostasis. The pH of extracellular fluids is physiologically in the range of 7.4 ± 0.04.[1]

Types of buffer systems

  1. Bicarbonate system.
  2. Phosphate system.
  3. Hemoglobin system.
  4. Protein system.
