CO2 in the blood stream can be measured from bicarbonate in the blood or pCO2 (partial pressure).

Normal CO2 measured from bicarbonate is 22-28 mEq/L

Normal pCO2 is 35-45 mmHg

What the blood have when it moves to the lungs?

The questions leads towards which physiological important gases the blood contains.When the blood moves TO the lungs it has both CO2 (carbondioxide) and O2 (oxygen). However the level of oxygen is lower, and the level of CO2 is higher than with blood coming from the lungs.


How would the movement of CO2 be affected if the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was equal or higher than the concentration in the blood?

If the concentration of CO2 in the lungs was higher or equal the concentration in the blood, there will be no diffusion of CO2 in the air of the lungs. The person will suffocate in this situation.


What is normal CO level?

Normal CO2 in the blood is the same as Normal PH. Ph is 7.35-7.45 CO2 is 35-45


What does CO2 blood level of 31 mean?

A CO2 blood level of 31 mmHg likely indicates a lower than normal amount of carbon dioxide in the blood. This could be due to hyperventilation or a respiratory problem. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment.


How does the pH in the blood change with an increase in the level of CO2?

An increase in the level of CO2 in the blood leads to a decrease in pH, making the blood more acidic. This is because carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid in the blood, lowering the pH. The body relies on various mechanisms, such as regulating breathing rate and the kidneys adjusting bicarbonate levels, to maintain blood pH within a narrow range.


How does PCO2 level in blood affect the pH level in blood?

In healthy subjects the mean PCO2 fall 18 mm Hg from the baseline and mean PO2 rise 7 mmHg


Is the CO2 in blood considered acidic or basic?

The CO2 in blood is considered acidic.


Which form of CO2 transport accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in blood?

Physically dissolved CO2 accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in blood. The majority of CO2 is carried in the blood as bicarbonate ions and carbaminohemoglobin.


Place where blood changes from low CO2 to high CO2?

The blood changes from low CO2 to high CO2 in the tissues where oxygen is delivered and CO2 is produced as a byproduct of cellular metabolism.


What does a high CO2 level indicate?

It means that the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood are increased usually causing a deficient level of oxygen. This condition can cause cells to die.


What happens when you have dirty blood?

Does hyperventilation raise or lower blood sugar blood CO2 concentration?

does nothing to blood sugar, and lowers co2 to almost nothing.
