| Respiratory System and pH balance |
|
Definition
| Chemoreceptors in the medulla of brain sense pH changes and vary the rate and depth of breathing to compensate for pH changes |

| How an increase in CO2 effect pH balance |
|
Definition
| The lungs combine CO2 with water to form carbonic acid. Carbonic Acid leads to a decrease in pH |

| Kidneys can retain or eliminate bicarbonate (HC03) Normal Level of (H303) is 22 to 26 Detect to much CO2 the kidneys will save bicarb to balance us out. |
