Document Summary

>acid-base balance is defined by the concentration of free hydrogen ions (h+) >there must be a balance between the production of hydrogen ions and the net removal of hydrogen ions from the body for homeostasis to be achieved. > a substance that releases h+ when in a solution. > a substance that can accept h+ when in solution. Plays crucial role in body"s ph buffering system. > solutions acidity or alkalinity is expressed on a ph scale. H+ concentration is restricted to between 10-1 10-14 m/l span is 100 million millionth 100,000,000,000,000. >due to large range ph value is expressed in a range of 1 14. >a ph 5 solution is 10 times more acidic than a ph 6 solution. >ph of ecf and icf maintained in narrow range. Acidosis = addition of excess h+ ph<7. 35 a low ph corresponds to a high h+ concentration.
