Buffers of the Body | pH homeostasis
Sep 22, 2023
The hosts discuss pH homeostasis in the body, including the role of buffers and the impact of pH on clothes washing. They also explore the relationship between pH shift, acidosis, and hyperkalemia, as well as the role of ammonia in amino acid breakdown. The podcast covers various buffer systems and their importance in maintaining pH balance, along with the transportation of carbon dioxide in the blood. Future episodes will focus on pain, the skeletal system, aneurysms, and nerves.
