The human body is equipped with many different mechanisms in order to keep up homeostasis in the extracellular fluids as well as in blood.
The blood’s pH level remains more or less stable because of these buffers dissolved in the blood.
There are four buffer systems within our body: phosphate, bicarbonate, protein, and lastly, haemoglobin.
In the blood, haemoglobin functions as a pH buffer.
Owing to the presence of histidine, haemoglobin is capable of taking H+.
