Reduction in pH of blood will

A

reduce the blood supply to the brain

B

decreasese the affinity of haemoglobin with oxygen

C

release bicarbonate ions by the liver

D

reduce the rate of heartbeat

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Reductio in pH of blood i.e increase in acidity favours the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin therby giving upmore `O_(2)`.When this phenonmenon occurs due ot increase in `CO_(2)` concentration then it is called Bohr effect.

The pH of blood is 7,4 . If the buffer in blood constitute CO_(2) and HCO_(3)^(Theta) ions, calculate the ratio of conjugate base of acid (H_(2)CO_(3)) to maintain the pH of blood. Given K_(1) of H_(2)CO_(3) = 4.5 xx 10^(-7) .

H_(2)CO_(3)+NaHCO_(3) found in blood helps in maintaining pH of the blood close to 7.4. An excess of acid entering the blood stream is removed by:
