Ph Buffer System Acidosis Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6110
The Ph Buffer System Acidosis Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates how the body maintains a stable blood pH using buffer systems and respiratory and renal regulation.
It is used in physiology, medicine, nursing, and biochemistry courses to explain the bicarbonate buffer system and the difference between acidosis and alkalosis.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| pH | A measure of hydrogen ion concentration that indicates how acidic or basic a solution is |
| Buffer System | A solution that resists changes in pH by neutralizing added acids or bases |
| Bicarbonate Buffer System | The primary buffer system in blood, involving carbonic acid and the bicarbonate ion |
| Respiratory Regulation | The lungs regulate blood pH by controlling the excretion of carbon dioxide |
| Renal Regulation | The kidneys regulate blood pH by controlling the excretion or reabsorption of bicarbonate and hydrogen ions |
| Acidosis and Alkalosis | Acidosis is a state of excess acidity in body fluids, while alkalosis is a state of excess alkalinity; both can be respiratory or metabolic in origin |
Key Features
- Illustrates the bicarbonate buffer system and its role in blood pH regulation
- Shows both respiratory and renal mechanisms of acid-base regulation
- Distinguishes acidosis and alkalosis and their respiratory and metabolic causes
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Ph Buffer System Acidosis Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates how the body maintains blood pH using the bicarbonate buffer system along with respiratory and renal regulation.
Q2. What is the bicarbonate buffer system?
A. The bicarbonate buffer system is the primary buffer system in blood, using carbonic acid and the bicarbonate ion to resist changes in pH.
Q3. What is the difference between acidosis and alkalosis?
A. Acidosis is a state of excess acidity in body fluids, while alkalosis is a state of excess alkalinity; both can arise from respiratory or metabolic causes.
Q4. How do the lungs and kidneys regulate blood pH?
A. The lungs regulate pH by controlling carbon dioxide excretion, while the kidneys regulate pH by controlling the excretion or reabsorption of bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Physiology, medical, nursing, biochemistry, and pharmacy students and faculty use it to study acid-base balance.
