pH : pH (potential of hydrogen’ or ‘power of hydrogen’) is a scale which is used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
Human Body need to maintain pH level in the serum about 7.4 to live. pH of blood is 7.4 but the pH of other Body flood is Different. Upper and Lower Part of Stomach have different pH value. Upper stomach pH value ranges from 4.0 to 6.5 while Lower Stomach pH value ranges from 1.5 to 4.0.
Following image has shown the different pH level of Different body fluids of Human Body:
