I believe that the chemical buffers provide the shortest term mechanisms for preventing acid-base imbalances in the body. Chemical buffers normally act within a fraction of a second to resist a pH change. On the other hand the longest mechanism is the kidney system which ordinarily requires from several hours to a day or more to affect changes in blood pH.
