MD Seminar. Acid-Base Balance, Buffers, Electrolytes in The Human Body 2024-2025
The document discusses the acid-base balance, buffer systems, and electrolytes in the human body, focusing on the relationship between water and pH, the ionization of water, and the pH of various body fluids. It explains the importance of pH in biochemical processes and the role of weak acids and bases in maintaining protein structure and function. Additionally, it covers the Bronsted-Lowry theory, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, and the major body buffer systems, including bicarbonate and phosphate buffers.
