What provides the shortest-term mechanism for preventing acid-base imbalances in the body?

Biology
1 answer:
Gala2k [10]3 years ago
3 0
I believe that the chemical buffers provide the shortest term mechanisms for preventing acid-base imbalances in the body. Chemical buffers normally act within a fraction of a second to resist a pH change. On the other hand the longest mechanism is the kidney system which ordinarily requires from several hours to a day or more to affect changes in blood pH.

Maurinko [17]

The correct answer is: A. A watery mixture of partially digested food released by the stomach into the intestines

Chyme or chymus is formed in the stomach, during the process of digestion (it takes 40 minutes to 3 hours to be produced) , and it is transported to the small intestine-duodenum.

In the beginning of the digestion (in the mouth), mixture of food and saliva called bolus, is formed. Mechanical and chemical breakdown of a bolus creates chime which is ready for the extraction of nutrients from it.
