| Bicarbonate buffer system |
|
Definition
- operates in lung and kidney
- decreases the amount of carbonic acid by blowing off Co2 and leaving water
- fasting acting
|
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- primarily an intracellular buffer system
- Hemoglobin is bound to Hydrogen and CO2 to form a weak acid

occurs in the kidney
uses CO2 and H2O to make H2CO3 and secreted from the tubular cell
slowest effect, but most effective
contributes to alkalinity |
