1) Describe the compartments through which body fluids are distributed within the body.
2) Explain how chemical buffer systems, the respiratory center, and the kidneys minimize changing pH values
Body fluid compartments are located largely with some kind of
various cell compartments. The cellular fluid compartment is the
kind of system which includes the fluid that is enclosed in the
cell with the plasma membranes. Intracellular and extracellular are
two kinds of fluid that surrounded the cell in the body which have
primary constituents in the form of blood or plasma.
1. The compartment through which the body fluids are distributed in
the body is the interstitial compartment, intravascular
compartment, and the intracellular compartment. These are the
compartment which is responsible for the distribution of different
type of fluid which is occupied in the body. Two-third
intracellular fluid is composed of body water and blood cells in
which the body fluids are distributed to perform local mechanisms.
This is the form of fluid influx one can maintain plasma volume
through arterial pressure and also receptors.
2. The buffer system and the respiratory center and kidney minimize
the change in pH values by different radical changes. The chemical
buffer system generally represents the range of pH value with the
change in hydrogen and concentration due to excess acid or base.
This can change the hydrogen ion concentration. In the respiratory
tract, pH volume is adjusted by examining the carbon dioxide from
the body. the renal or kidney system also adjusts the pH value with
the excretion of the hydrogen and conservation of bicarbonate. This
process takes around two hours to many days to affect the plasma or
pH level.
