How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What of these is a waste product of cells blood water oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide and water
Do white blood cells transport carbon dioxide?
The primary function of white blood cells is to fight infection. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues, and carbon dioxide as a waste product away from the tissues and back to the lungs.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide
Levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are tested by?
Oximetry.
Why are red blood cells good for what they do?
They transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Why is carbon monoxide more dangerous than carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide bonds the the hemoglobin in out red blood cells. This renders our blood unable to transport oxygen. Carbon dioxide does not do this.
Red blood cells transport which 2 chemicals in the body?
Red blood cells have haemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What are concave disks with a squashed in center that transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are concave disks with a squashed-in center. they transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What responsible for the transport of oxygen the body tissues and removal of carbon dioxide?
red blood cells
What does the red blood cells transport?
They transport mainly oxygen to cells, while taking waste and carbon dioxide away.
What do red blood cell transport from tissues?
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
What does the red blood cell transport mainly?
They transport mainly oxygen to cells, while taking waste and carbon dioxide away.
What type of blood has low oxygen and high carbon dioxide?
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
What do pulmonary arteries transport?
oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to get more oxygen and to release unneeded carbon dioxide for the lungs to remove
