The bicarbonate/carbonate ionic system is also a bufferBuffer solutions are solutions which resist change in pH upon addition of small amounts of acid or base. Buffer solutions usually consist of either a weak acid and its salt or a weak base. The resistive action is the result of the equilibrium which is set in bloodBlood is a circulating tissue composed of fluid plasma and cells ( red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets).
