Reply to comment by SonicPixels in If stomach acid id HCl then what happens when you drink water? by SonicPixels

“Controlling the blood” is what buffers do (for blood pH).

Buffers don’t split water into H3O+ and OH-, that happens from stomach acid… buffers are in your blood… (and water has already been split into H3O+ and OH- before those molecules get to the buffers).
