The lungs control your body's pH balance by releasing carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a slightly acidic compound. ... Your brain constantly monitors this in order to maintain the proper pH balance in your body. The kidneys help the lungs maintain acid-base balance by excreting acids or bases into the blood.
