Question

What is the healthy pH range for a human body?

A.

Between 7 to 7.8

B.

Between 6 to 6.8

C.

Between 9 to 9.8

D.

Between 8 to 8.8

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (a) Between 7 to 7.8
Explanation:
The normal and healthy pH range of the human blood and body fluids is typically between 7.35 and 7.45, which is slightly alkaline.
Maintaining this pH range is crucial for enzyme activity, oxygen transport, and cellular function.
A pH lower than 7 can lead to acidosis, and above 7.8 may cause alkalosis, both of which are harmful to health.
Information Booster:
pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration; it indicates acidity or alkalinity.
Neutral pH is 7; values below 7 are acidic and above 7 are alkaline.
• Body uses buffer systems, especially bicarbonate buffer, to maintain pH balance.
• Lungs and kidneys play major roles in regulating pH in the body.
pH imbalance can lead to symptoms like fatigue, confusion, breathing difficulties, or even coma.
