The first part of this two-part article (Clancy and McVicar, 2007) identified acid and alkaline buffers in the body fluids as the body's short-term homeostatic mechanisms involved in maintaining the 'acid-base homeostasis' of body fluids. The second part of this article explores the respiratory and renal systems as the respective intermediate and long-term homeostatic mechanisms involved in maintaining acid-base homeostasis. It also discusses what happens if these mechanisms fail.
这篇分两部分的文章（克兰西和麦克维卡，2007年）的第一部分指出，体液中的酸性和碱性缓冲物质是参与维持体液“酸碱平衡”的人体短期稳态机制。本文的第二部分探讨了呼吸系统和肾脏系统，它们分别作为参与维持酸碱平衡的中期和长期稳态机制。文章还讨论了如果这些机制失效会发生什么情况。
