    regulation of body's pH levels for stable internal environment

    Acid-Base Balance, also known as Acid-Base Homeostasis, refers to the regulation of the pH levels in the body's fluids and tissues to maintain a stable internal environment. This balance is crucial for normal cellular functions and is tightly controlled by the kidneys, lungs, and buffer systems in the blood to keep the pH within a narrow range, typically around 7.35 to 7.45.
