Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The urinary and respiratory systems contribute to the acid-base balance of blood. The kidneys (part of the urinary system) regulate blood pH by excreting hydrogen ions and reabsorbing bicarbonate from urine. The respiratory system maintains pH balance by controlling the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, which influences the amount of bicarbonate, a base, in the blood.
