The Bicarbonate Buffer System
What else can I help you with?
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
The bonding of CO2 to hemoglobin produces?
The bonding of CO2 to hemoglobin produces carbaminohemoglobin. This process occurs in tissues where CO2 is released from cells and binds with hemoglobin to form a weak bond. This helps transport CO2 from tissues to the lungs for elimination.
The most important gas distributed to all cells of the body by blood is?
Oxygen! Remember it isn't the only gas. CO2 is also removed from cells in the body.
Erythrocytes transport oxygen and serve to?
It is to carry oxygen from the lungs to tissue around the body.
Which form of CO2 transport accounts for the greatest amount of CO2 transported in blood?
70% s transported as bicarbonate ions in plasma which is the most abundant
What is the most common method of carbon dioxide transport?
the aeroplane creates the most amount of co2.
What kinds of reactions can you make with carbonic acid?
Carbonic acid is an intermediate step in the transport of CO2. The CO2 is transported out of the body via respiratory gas exchange. The hydration reaction of CO2 is generally very slow in the absence of a catalyst.
What is most important stimulus controlling ventilation?
Co2
Why is circulatory system known as body's transport system?
The circulatory system not only transports oxygen to and CO2 from cells, but also transports nutrients and hormones around the body.
Why is the function of the lungs important?
it is important that co2 gets out of our body or else it wud cause severe body problems.therefore lungs perform a function wich is really important
Why do leaves transport tissue?
They don't - they transport substances. (Water and CO2 in, sugars and O2 out)
What is the most important stimulus in the control of ventilation?
Rising CO2 levels.
