It has to do mostly with oxygen being attached to the hemoglobin on red blood cells. When the red cells "deliver" the oxygen to other cells, they take the waste product, i.e. CO2 (carbon dioxide), and transport it to the lungs where it is exhaled. The blood cells gain oxygen/lose carbon dioxide by being pumped through ventricles of the heart into the lungs.
What else can I help you with?
Is the most important way that the body transport CO2?
The Bicarbonate Buffer System
Three major characteristics of the respiratory system?
1)Breathing2) Transport of O2 from the lungs to the rest of the body; transport of CO2 from the tissues back to the lungs3) O2 diffuses from Red Blood Cells into body cells; CO2 moves into the blood
Why is CO2 harmful to lungs?
respiratory system and the harmul effects of CO2
Which gas is removed from blood by respiratory system?
CO2
When the body removes CO2 by way of the respiratory system?
falls out
What gas does the respiratory system get rid of?
The respiratory system utilises oxygen from the environmrntal gases and expires carbon dioxide (CO2).
Is the respiratory system is the system that moves oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide and water out?
The respiratory system moves oxygen in and carbon dioxide (CO2) out.
What is the gas the respiratory system gets rid of?
Carbon Dioxide-CO2
What is the main function of the respiratory system'?
To gain oxygen and to lose CO2.
The main organ of the respiratory system is the?
To gain oxygen and to lose CO2.
What does your respiratory system do?
Our respiratory system helps our body breathe and exhale CO2. It also has more to it if you want to go to any school website
Why can CO2 exhalation be used as a measure of respiratory rate in humans?
CO2 exhalation can be used as a measure of respiratory rate in humans because as we breathe out, we release CO2 which is a byproduct of cellular metabolism. This exchange of gases reflects the rate at which our body is producing and releasing CO2, which is directly related to our respiratory rate. By measuring the level of CO2 exhaled, we can determine how effectively our respiratory system is working.
