can you suggest how blood responds in the presence of lactic acid that is produced as a result of mild exercise, and strenuous exercise?
i know that blood is an important buffer that contains bicarbonate ions and carbonic acid, what does that have to to with it?

first the blood become more acidic with decrease of alkaline buffer in it
then it lead to vasodilatation of blood vessels lead to hypertension
and also increase respiratory rate due to more of CO2

Lactic acid released into blood mainly from muscles, it causes fall in pH. This furthe leads to vasodilatation and causes increased blood suply...
However the pH remains constant for some time as the buffer system like plasma proteins, Hb, Bicarbonate, phosphate buffers act.. Lungs act by regulacting the carbon dioxide levels of the blood.. Kidneys act by the regulating the excretion of ions...
But if the amount of lactic acid increases a lot, it leads to Lactic acidosis...
Please read Harrison's Principles of internal medicine..

When there is lactic acid build up in your blood you become tired, out of breath. Usually your blood pH drops because it becomes acidotic secondary to lactic acidosis. Extra oxygen is the best remedy for this.
However, your blood has a buffer system that will take effect to protect your body's homeostasis. So, your body will release a lot of bicarbonate ions in an effort to balance your pH back to normal levels and restore homeostasis.

approximately....six, seven situations in step with danger. I continuously attempt to pass donate when I can. I generally have been given denied because of the fact they could think of i'm underweight (i'm 138 and look one hundred and one interestingly). Then maximum situations my iron is only too low, yet i've got in no way been faint after donating and that i donate distinctly speedy. And as quickly as my blood tension replaced into too low (I blame not ingesting yet). yet i'm pleased with myself additionally! think of what proportion human beings you're saving!!

I don't know but the blood would have to be more oxygenated. I can't remember that anatomy lesson.

it increases the pH of the blood slightly
