The primary regulation of pH in the body is carried out by buffer systems. Buffer systems are called systems or solutions that keep the pH at a constant level when small amounts of acids or bases are added. Acidosis and alkalosis describe the abnormal conditions that result from an imbalance in the pH of the blood caused by an excess of acid or alkali (base). This imbalance is typically caused by some underlying condition or disease. What kind of buffer system is main buffer system in the cytoplasm?
