Normally the acid-base balance in the body

is such that there is a minimai pH change in

the blood. The organ chiefly responsible for

this resistance to change is the

blood contains 0.9 per cent NaO.

the erythrocyte is not permeable to NaCI.
it has the same surface tension as blood.
it has the same salt concentration as blood.
it exhibits the same osmotic pressure as
blood.

Segmenting movements of the small

intestine are of functional importance because
they encourage

mucosa.

gastrointestinal enzymes.
