The Normal PH of Blood Is

Question

The normal pH of blood is
A)4.00 to 5.00
B)6.75 to 7.00
C)7.20 to 7.60
D)7.35 to 7.45
E)7.65 to 8.00

Accepted Answer

The normal pH of blood should be slightly basic, in the range of 7.35 to 7.45. This is because blood needs to maintain a constant pH to function properly and keep the body in homeostasis. If the pH is too low (acidic), it can cause acidosis, which is a potentially life-threatening condition. If the pH is too high (alkaline), it can cause alkalosis, which can also be dangerous.
