Acid-base balance refers to the body’s ability to maintain a stable pH level in the blood and tissues, which is essential for proper functioning. The normal pH of blood is slightly alkaline, around 7.35 to 7.45. This balance is regulated by the respiratory system, kidneys, and chemical buffers in the body.

Acid Base Balance PPT: Concept, Mechanism, Cause
Disruptions can lead to conditions like acidosis (too acidic) or alkalosis (too basic), which can affect cellular activities and organ functions. The body compensates by adjusting breathing or excreting excess acids or bases through urine. Maintaining acid-base balance is crucial for metabolic processes and overall health stability.
