SUMMARY

1. Respiratory system: controls pCO₂ through alterations in alveolar ventilation. CO₂ indirectly stimulates the central chemoreceptors of the medulla through the generation of H⁺ which crosses the BBB and dissolves in the CSF.

2. Kidneys: control HCO₃^- which is important for long-term control & compensation of acid-base disturbances.

3. Blood: through buffering by plasma proteins & haemoglobin.

4. Bone: H⁺ may exchange with cations in bone. Bone possesses carbonate which could be used to support plasma HCO₃^- levels.

5. Liver: generation of HCO₃^- and NH₄⁺ (ammonia) through glutamine metabolism. Excretion of ammonia by renal tubules generates more bicarbonate.
