An excess of white blood cells can be an indicator of the presence of Leukemia.
Blood
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
Nothing does. Carbon monoxide is toxic. If your blood is rich in it, you will soon be dead. Veins generally carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide.
The circulatory system collects metabolic wastes and delivers them to the excretion points. Carbon dioxide is carried dissolved in the blood stream and diffuses into the alveoli of the lungs to be discharged during exhalation. Urea, excess salts and excess water also travel dissolved in the blood stream and are filtered out at the glomeruli in the kidney cortex.
Excess carbon dioxide leaves the blood through the lungs.
Yes.
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 lungs do not clean dirty blood, although they do allow excess carbon dioxide to escape into the air. Dirty blood is filtered by the kidneys, not the lungs.

The body can break down carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. (It can exhale carbon dioxide and either uses or urinates out the water.) Carbonic acid is part of the system that keeps the pH of your blood stable. When your blood starts to get too acidic, it converts the excess carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. When you blood gets too basic/alkaline, it converts the excess carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid.
There is a part of the brain called the medulla oblongata which detects increased carbon dioxide levels in the blood and triggers the breathing reflex. Breathing then allows the excess carbon dioxide to escape by way of the lungs, as oxygen is acquired.
A person suffering from lactoacidosis may hyperventilate as a compensatory mechanism to try to lower the acidity in the blood by blowing off excess carbon dioxide. The buildup of lactic acid in the body can lead to an increase in acidity, triggering the body to try to compensate by increasing respiratory rate.
Oxygen in excess: carbon dioxide is obtained.Not sufficient oxygen: carbon monoxide is obtained.
levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.
Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to the muscle cells, it carries away carbon dioxide, other waste materials and excess heat from the cells
The excretory system removes excess sugar and impurities from the blood.
