Yes, except that most of the carbon dioxide is dissoved in the blood plasma.

What type of blood cell takes carbon dioxide away?
Red blood cells take carbon dioxide (CO2) away from body tissues. The carbon dioxide is then transported to the lungs where it can be exhaled.
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
How does carbon dioxide from a cell in your hand leave the body Please not too detailed thanks?
The carbon dioxide is dissolved in your blood. The blood travels round the body, to the lungs. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are exchanged during breathing. The Carbon Dioxide is exhaled from the lungs, through the mouth.
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.
How carbon dioxide get out your body?
carbon dioxide is expelled from cells into the blood stream, carried to the lungs, and exhaled.
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
How are the carbon dioxide carried by the blood?
oxygen is carried by the red blood cells, but carbon dioxide is separated from the air you breathe in the lungs, then exhaled.
What do lungs remove from the blood?
The oxygen cells Actually the carbon dioxide is removed. Oxygen is taken in by the blood and circulated to the rest of the body.
The gas that goes into the blood stream through the blood is?
Oxygen is brought into the blood stream by inhalation. Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells, into the blood, and taken to the lungs to be exhaled. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
What supplies oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide from the blood stream?
Lungs and Lungs. Blood that contains carbon dioxide means it is lacking oxygen, and the carbon dioxide was put into the blood as a waste product by all the other organs. The blood then reaches the lungs and exchanges the carbon dioxide for oxygen. The now oxygen-rich blood is transported to the heart where it is pumped throughout the body, and the carbon dioxide is exhaled from the lungs.
Why does blood lose oxygen in the body?
The purpose of blood is to carry oxygen to the cells of the body. This oxygen is consumed via cellular respiration, which produces water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then carried by the blood to the lungs where it is exhaled.
Where the blood gets oxygen from?
Blood gets oxygen from the lungs. Every time you breath, the oxygen you've inhaled goes into sacs in your lungs called alveoli. The oxygen is diffused into the blood and the blood diffuses carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled
How does the oxygen change to carbon dioxide?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygenenters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
Why does blood get pumped into the lungs?
It needs to get oxygen from the lungs, or drop off carbon dioxide to exhaled out of the body.
What type of blood cell takes carbon dioxide away?
Red blood cells take carbon dioxide (CO2) away from body tissues. The carbon dioxide is then transported to the lungs where it can be exhaled.
Where did the blood brings the carbon dioxide?
To the lungs, to be exhaled.
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
