ASSIGNMENT! ACIDS and BASE human body?

Question

I need to know all i can about acids and base buffering system in the human body. I need to teach the class about the anatomy and physiology of this topic without confusing. Could anyone give me a ordered list of topics to discuss with the class I am going to teach??

Answer 1

Maybe you can start by asking the class why a paper bag is given to someone having hiccups or a panic attack. You can then describe what is happening when too much or too little oxygen enters the blood stream. Then discuss about the 2 medical conditions: acidosis and alkalosis. Proceed to your main topic on how acids and bases are important in the body to prevent those two conditions from happening.

Hope this helps.
