Does the Blood that is pumped from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery have more carbon dioxide or more oxygen?
More oxygen, for the pumped blood circle through the body and the body consumes more oxygen and carries more oxygen than it carries carbon-dioxide.
What is the gaseous waste removed by the lungs?
carbon dioxideCO2 and water vapour.gas-carbon dioxideCarbon DioxideCarbon dioxideCO2 and H20The waste product is carbon dioxide which you exhale.CO2, that is gasses.You also cough up both particulate ans bacterial matter.All you (should) breathe out is Carbon Dioxide and some Oxygen.Heat, water, and carbon dioxide (CO2) are three waste products expelled bu the lungs.the blood enters the heart from it's long journey around the body through & collects carbon dioxide from it to be expelled through the lungs.carbon dioxide- a waste product :) :) ;)The lungs exhale the waste product carbon dioxide.carbon dioxide
How does body control carbon dioxide levels in the blood through negative feedback mechanism?
Carbon dioxide level control within our body is very important for our well-being. The body itself always tries to maintain a constant internal environment - this process is called homeostasis. The so-called homeostatic sensors detect if anything is lower or higher within our body than normal - this is when the body uses a positive or a negative feedback mechanism while trying to achieve the balance again. For example, when the carbon dioxide level is higher than normal, respiration is automatically stimulated to get rid of the excess CO2. After some time, the body detects that the CO2 level is getting lower than usual, it generates the respiration to get back to normal again with a negative feedback.
How do fish excrete?
blood in the fish carries the carbon dioxide to the gills where it releaseed into the water
What does the structure of lungs enable them to do?
The structures in the lungs enable the lungs to exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide in the blood. The structure are also designed to help the lung protect themselves from irritants.
What happens when carbon dioxide increases in the blood?
If the level of carbon dioxide increases, the repiratory centers are signaled to increase the rate and depth of breathing. This will result in the return of normal CO2 (carbon dioxide) and slows the breathing rate.
What happens if carbon dioxide in the blood increases?
The blood will become acidic.
What If carbon dioxide levels in the blood increase then pH .?
decreases
What happens to your body when carbon dioxide levels get too high?
Carbon dioxide never "takes over", it is made out of oxygen (and carbon-from sugar and fat)Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen from hemoglobin, reducing the bloods ability to carry O2 ... which can be severe enough to kill.
If carbon dioxide levels increase then the blood becomes more?
Acidic
What If carbon dioxide levels increase then the blood becomes more .?
acidic
Do the lungs take carbon dioxide from the blood?
No. Your lungs pass oxygen into the blood and also pass carbon dioxide to the air outside your body. Oxygen combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide. This happens in our muscles, among other places.
What is the strongest stimulus to increase respiratory rate and depth is to increase the blood concentration of?
Carbon dioxide
Why might blood carbon dioxide levels be higher in an individual with pulmonary disease when compared to the carbon dioxide levels of a healthy person?
When you have pulmonary disease, you may fail to give out carbon dioxide. So the percentage of carbon dioxide increase in your blood. That is the indicator of the severity of the pulmonary disease.
What happens to the blood concentration level of carbon dioxide following increased breathing?
With increased breathing, levels of carbon dioxide in the blood drop and levels of oxygen rise.
What happens to the blood while it is in the lungs?
It gets rid of carbon dioxide, then it takes the oxygen and gives it to cells. Carbon dioxide is cell waste.
When you hold your breath for half a minute the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will?
If you hold your breath, the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will increase. Carbon dioxide is constantly produced by the body's metabolism, and constantly exhaled. So if it is not exhaled, it will start to build up.
