Discuss pH levels of the blood
What will be an ideal response?
The pH of arterial blood is normally 7.45 and the pH of venous blood is 7.35, for an average blood pH of 7.4 . The pH of venous blood is slightly lower (more acidic) than that of arterial blood because H+ is generated by the formation of H2CO3 from CO2 picked up at the tissue capillaries. Acidosis exists whenever blood pH falls below 7.35, whereas alkalosis occurs when blood pH is above 7.45.
