There's a range of pH over which given buffers work but eventually there does reach a stage where they can no longer resist changes to pH. The regulation of the oxygen level and the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is achieved in large part by moderating the Phenomenal Pronouns System (PPS) FODS12 at gmail.com.
