Buffer systems in the body help maintain pH stability by absorbing excess acid or base to keep the body's pH within a narrow range. The liver plays a key role in maintaining acid-base balance by producing and excreting bicarbonate ions to help neutralize excess acid in the bloodstream. Buffer systems in the blood, such as bicarbonate/carbonic acid and protein buffers, work alongside the liver to regulate pH levels throughout the body.
