Acid-base balance
The balance between acids and bases in the blood plasma. Normally it results in a slightly alkaline state with an excess of hydroxyl ions in comparison to hydrogen ions. The balance is achieved by the offset of the ingestion and production of acidic and basic material by the amount of acidic and basic material metabolised and excreted by the body.
