The question has come from India. The lungs remove carbon dioxide from the body. The exhaled air is almost saturated with water. So there is loss of water also depending the water saturation of the inhaled air. One liter per hour of water can be lost through your skin, in hot tropical climate. But skin does not lose carbon dioxide. Water is lost via kidneys also. But then, kidney do not lose carbon dioxide.
It is the lungs that remove carbon dioxide and water from blood. The majority of vertebrate animals have two lungs.
Water with dissolved carbon dioxide is acidic.
Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water and blood plasma. 900 ml/ liter carbon dioxide is soluble in water as against 4 ml/ liter of Oxygen. So this question would have been about oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cells produced during cellular respiration as cells break down nutrients to create energy. It is then transported in the blood to the lungs where it is exhaled from the body.
That is what your liver and kidneys can do.
The lungs are responsible for removing carbon dioxide from the blood through exhalation, while the kidneys filter water and waste products from the blood to form urine.
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.
yessss !
Carbon dioxide in humans is mostly carried in the blood as bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). This process occurs in red blood cells where carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. Around 70% of carbon dioxide is transported this way in the blood.
Most of the carbon dioxide that enters the blood is transported in the form of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). Carbon dioxide reacts with water in the red blood cells to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
