In the body, conjugate acid-base pairs are more common. In the blood, for example, the carbonic acid/bicarbonate pair helps to control the pH. This buffer can be overcome, though, and some potentially dangerous situations can arise. If a person exercises strenuously, lactic acid from the muscles is released into the bloodstream. If there s not enough bicarbonate ion to neutralize the lactic acid, the blood pH drops, and the person is said to be in acidosis. Diabetes may also cause acidosis. On the other hand, if a person hyperventilates (breathes too fast), she breathes out too much carbon dioxide. The carbonic acid level in the blood is reduced, causing the blood to become too basic. This condition, called alkalosis, can be very serious. [Pg.208]
