MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The pulmonary system adjusts pH using carbon dioxide; upon expiration, carbon dioxide is projected into the environment. Due to carbon dioxide forming carbonic acid in the body when combining with water, the amount of carbon dioxide expired can cause pH to increase or decrease.

Detailed explanation-2: -pH is maintained in the body using primarily three mechanisms: buffer systems, respiratory control, and renal control.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fluid loss Losing too much water from your body can increase blood pH. This happens because you also lose some blood electrolytes-salts and minerals-with water loss. These include sodium and potassium.
