Blood buffer
A blood buffer is a system in your body that helps maintain a stable pH level in your blood. pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is, and it’s vital for proper body function. Blood contains various substances, such as bicarbonate and proteins, that can absorb excess acids or bases, preventing drastic changes in acidity. This buffering system ensures that your body remains in a healthy range, allowing cells and organs to work efficiently. Without it, extreme pH levels can lead to serious health issues.
