Explain the difference between the two main buffer systems
What will be an ideal response?
There are two major types of buffer systems: chemical buffer systems and physiological buffer systems. Chemical buffers are chemical systems that work to buffer fluids in the body, whereas physiological systems are functions of organ systems that work to buffer fluids. The respiratory and urinary systems act as physiological buffers. Both the physiological and chemical buffer systems maintain the pH of the blood when the pH moves out of its normal range.
