Which of the Following is Considered a Powerful Physiological Buffering

Question

Which of the following is considered a powerful physiological buffering system of the body?
A)Skin
B)Liver
C)Kidney
D)Intestine

Accepted Answer

The kidney is considered a powerful physiological buffering system of the body as it helps regulate the body's acid-base balance by excreting or retaining hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions as needed. The skin, liver, and intestine also play important roles in the body's overall homeostasis but are not as powerful in regulating acid-base balance as the kidney.
