Detailed explanation-1: -Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40. A doctor evaluates a person’s acid-base balance by measuring the pH and levels of carbon dioxide (an acid) and bicarbonate (a base) in the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normal human blood is C: alkaline. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral. Therefore, since the normal range for human blood is 7.35-7.45 (usually maintained right around 7.40), blood is considered to be slightly alkaline. Both the kidneys and lungs help regulate the pH of blood through respiration and metabolism.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood is a red-colored fluid that is made up of liquid plasma and blood cells (RBCs, WBCs, and platelets). It is red in color because of the presence of the iron-containing protein called hemoglobin present in the red blood cells. The pH of blood is around 7.35. Hence it is slightly basic in nature.
