The statement above is true. Digestive system can be considered as a physiological buffer because it involves a process of secreting digestive enzymes and substances such as proteins, phosphate, bicarbonate, and hemoglobin in breaking down of food chemically. During digestion, the digestive system helps adjust the pH level of acids, bases or co2.
