How can a buffer solution form in our body?

I did not understand, I need more explanation.

A buffer solution is a solution which a resistible change in ph upon adding a small amount of acid or base. The h2co3 is to maintain the ph value of the body.

Since the acidity content of the body is too high, the bicarbonate maintains ph by neutralizing it.

I do not understand properly. I am the student of grade 10 please make me clear about it in a simple way.

Tell about buffer solution.

Chan basha said:   1 decade ago
First up all I would like to say buffer solution is weak acid or base and their salts so here we have HCOOH and its salt HCOO.

So the first one is correct.

How it's possible please more information?

In our body, CO2 combines with water to give H2CO3, and this dissociates to H+ and HCO3- and this causes the pH of the blood to fall in acidic range. This acidified blood acts on our own cells leads to degeneration of cells. Hence we feel tired during playing. This is the process of dehydration. When we feel thirsty and tired after playing, what we have to do is to just cover your nose and mouth, and inhale the gas which you exhaled, leads to the reversal of reaction and balances our blood pH.

Just I want to share this info with others and it went as big para. Sorry.

In this system, carbon dioxide (CO2) combines with water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which in turn rapidly dissociates to form hydrogen ions and bicarbonate (HCO3- ). The carbon dioxide - carbonic acid equilibrium is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase; the carbonic acid - bicarbonate equilibrium is simple proton dissociation/association and needs no catalyst.
