Detailed explanation-1: -Normally, the blood has a pH between 7.35 and 7.45. A blood pH of less than 7.35 is considered acidic, and a blood pH of more than 7.45 is considered alkaline. The pH of blood is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration. A low pH, less than 7.35, occurs in acidosis when the blood has a high hydrogen ion concentration.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pH should be assessed first. A pH of less than 7.35 indicates acidaemia-acid in the blood, and a pH greater than 7.45 indicates alkalaemia-alkali in the blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -A pH number less than 7 is considered acidic, while a number above 7 is considered basic. The human body rests in a slightly basic environment, functioning within a range of 7.35 to 7.45.
Detailed explanation-4: -The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. The readings are based around a pH of 7, which is neutral, like pure water: A pH below 7 is acidic. A pH higher than 7 is alkaline or basic.
