Maintaining pH Balance in the Body by Teacher Carla is a document available to read on EtoBox.

What is Maintaining pH Balance in the Body about?

The document discusses acids and bases in the body. It states that the body must maintain a near neutral pH of 7 through buffers that neutralize acids produced via metabolic reactions. Water dissociates into hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions, and acids contain more hydronium (H3O+) ions while bases have more hydroxide ions. When acids and bases neutralize each other in the body, they produce salt and water to help maintain homeostasis and a neutral pH required for proper protein function.
