Acid Base Balance Concept Map Explained
An acid base balance concept map shows how the body keeps blood pH within a narrow range, roughly 7.35 to 7.45. The main idea is that acids and bases are constantly produced, and several systems work together to neutralize them. A good map links these systems so you can see how a change in one affects the others.
- pH scale: definition, normal blood range and what shifts it
- Buffer systems: bicarbonate, phosphate and protein buffers
- Respiratory control: how the lungs remove carbon dioxide
- Renal control: how kidneys excrete acid and regenerate bicarbonate
- Disorders: acidosis and alkalosis, metabolic and respiratory types
Use the map to revise by tracing how each disorder is compensated. Create your own version from your course notes with CogniGuide to match your syllabus.

Acid Base Balance Questions Answered
Common questions about the topic and about building your own map.
What is the normal pH of blood?
Arterial blood normally sits between 7.35 and 7.45. Values below 7.35 indicate acidemia, and values above 7.45 indicate alkalemia. The body works to keep pH inside this narrow range.
What is the main buffer in blood?
The bicarbonate buffer system is the most important extracellular buffer. It pairs carbonic acid with bicarbonate, and the lungs and kidneys regulate both sides of this balance.
Which file types can I use to build my map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of your notes. You can also simply type the topic.
Can I turn my acid base map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is created, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself. The same notes can also become flashcards. There is a free plan for up to 5 creations a week.
