  • Principles of Respiration

    H+ is the chemical whose concentration is measured to give the pH. The more H+, the lower the pH. On the other hand, peripheral chemoreceptors respond not only to H+ and pCO2, but also to pO2.

  • Excretory System: multiple choice

    Tubular secretion of H+ is important in maintaining control of the pH of the blood. When the pH of the blood starts to drop, more hydrogen ions are secreted.
