This document discusses pH and buffer systems in the human body. It asks the reader to identify the normal pH ranges of blood, milk, and urine, and to calculate the pH of sample acid and base solutions. It also inquires about the buffer systems in whole blood and plasma, and introduces the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used to describe buffers.
