The much higher concentration of hydrogen carbonate ion over that of carbonic acid in blood plasma allows the buffer to respond effectively to the most common materials that are released into the blood. Normal metabolism releases mainly acidic materials: carboxylic acids such as lactic acid (HLac).

METHODS: Livers retrieved from New Zealand white rabbits were immediately perfused in an extracorporeal circuit with oxygenated buffer (group A, n = 4) or red blood cell (RBC)-fortified buffer (group B, n = 4). Perfusion was continued for 3 hours at 37 degrees C pH 7.4, and perfusate was gassed with 95%O2/5%CO2 at 1...

Three different buffer systems exist in blood, the bicarbonate buffer and the phosphate buffer are composed of "simple" chemicals. In addition the carbonyl groups (-COOH) and the amide group (-NH2) present on proteins allow some of these to act as buffers.

It is the production of carbon dioxide from this reaction that couples the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffer to the respiratory system. Continue and read about how the carbonic acid/bicarbonate buffer and the respiratory system work together to control blood pH.
