No.
HCO3- is the bicarbonate ion.
HC03 is not a standard chemical notation. Did you mean HCO3, which is the chemical formula for bicarbonate, a negatively charged ion that plays a role in regulating pH levels in the blood?
It's a bicarb held together a hydrogen atom .. It doesn't exist without another element. such as Sodium ... i.e. Sodium bicarb (NaHC03). The most common split of HC03 is through the addition of another Hydrogen, making H2O and C02. Hence the Sodium Acetate, CO2 and water (H2O) from the vinegar and bicarb kids trick CH3OOH + NaHCO3-> CH3COONa + CO2 + H2O
C02 + H20 ------> H2C03 -------> HC03- + H+ Basicly, Carbon Dioxide + Water turns into Carbonic Acid and then Bicarbonate Ion and Hyrdrogen ion... This is respitation in the lungs...hope this is a better answer then the one you got before!
No, it isn't.

+4 oxidation state
Carbon dioxide is very soluble in aqueous solutions. There is a lot less C02 in blood than in even flat soda. In general there is an equilibrium between C02 and H2CO3 and then H2C03 disassociates into H+ and HC03- and it is the change in pH that triggers the physiological response.
the three buffer systems are NaHC03 The 2 other buffer systems are H2C03 and HC03 . THANK YOU !
Bicarbonate is - Co3 and Acid is - HA Hc03
Bicarbonate reaction CO2 + H20 ⇋ H+ + HC03-

As far as I know, pH is regulated by the lungs and kidneys. In your blood, pH is represented by C02 + H20 -> H2CO3 -> HCO3- + H+. So, when you exhale rapidly you remove CO2 from your blood. This forces the reaction to favor the reactants and pH increases (Le chatelier's Principle). As for the kidneys, if the blood pH is too high, then the kidneys will excrete HC03-. If it is too low, it will excrete H+. Can anyone else think of how pH is regulated?
The decease in pH is caused often by an increase in C02 levels, so the body reacts by increasing the rates of respiration so as to flush out the C02 from body back into the atmosphere. In addition the renal and alimentary system increases the rate of excretion of NaBicarbonate which removes H+ from the body. C02 + H20 <=> H+ + HC03-
The digestive system breaks down food molecules into their component parts, which are then absorbed by the circulatory system in the small intestine and circulated throughout the body. The digestive system diffuses nutrients into the capillaries and then through the circulatory system. The small intestine has folds called villi, and the villi contain tiny projections called microvilli. The microvilli absorb nutrients from digested food and transport it directly into the bloodstream where it can be used. Without the circulatory system, the body would not be able to absorb nutrients from the food we eat.The circulatory system supplies the organs with blood and oxygen to keep them alive. Oxygen travels throughout the body including the digestive system. Like any organ, the digestive system requires more oxygen when metabolically active, for example after a meal. In addition, the digestive system plays a role in the acid-base balance in the body. Since H+ + HC03- exchanges with H20 and C02 within the intestine there is a production of carbon dioxide from the gut to the lungs.The bloodstream carries nutrients that are broken by the digestive system from the food you eat. The circulatory system provides nutrients and oxygen to the organs of the digestive system.
