What gas in in your blood gas?

oxygen and co2


Which gas diffuses from the tissue to the blood?

Co2


Which gas is removed from blood by respiratory system?

CO2


What happens to CO2 which collects in human body?

CO2 gets exhaled. Excess gas in the blood is released in the lungs.


Why would you die if you do not breathe?

If you do not breathe the blood in your veins and arteries can not flow. The exchange of CO2 and oxygenated blood can not mix and exchange in the heart. The gas from CO2 will suffocate you and you will die.


What happens to carbon dioxide in the blood that flows through the capillaries in the alveoli?

alveoli take co2 from your blood and turns it into gas


In which form is carbon dioxide primarily transported in the blood?

CO2 is transported in blood as a disolved gas or a gas in solution.


Is blood a liquid or gas or solid?

Blood is a mixture of dissolved gases (O2 and CO2), plasma (liquid), and cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).


How many tons of CO2 emissions per therm of natural gas?

According to U.S. EPA, Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2004, 1 therm of natural gas burnt produces 11.7 lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, the Carbon Coefficient for natural gas is: 117 pounds of CO2 per million BTU, or 0.12 pounds per cubic foot of gas.


Why is blood less acidic when hyperventilating?

To the best of my knowledge, blood becomes less acidic because more CO2 is removed from the alveoli through breathing. To understand this, you need to know how gas exchange mechanism in your body works. First off, when you breath, gas exchange occurs in lung's alveoli (little sacs in your lungs). The O2 that is breathed in will replace the CO2 in the blood cells. The CO2 is then pushed to the alveoli and gets blown off as you exhale. Now, how is CO2 related to blood acidity? - In the blood, CO2 and H2O react with each other to form H2CO3 (carbonic acid). See how it works now? This carbonic acid makes your blood more acidic when presence. So what happens if you breath harder and rapider? - More CO2 gets blown off. When more CO2 is removed from the circulation, the lower the H2CO3 is produced by the reaction between CO2 and H2O, the more pH increases, and the blood is less acidic. And as the CO2 level becomes too low, and the blood is too alkaline; the action reverses.


How do you remove CO2 from the blood?

Carbon dioxide is removed from the blood by the lungs and exhaled when you breath out.


What gas is more abundant inhaled air than exhaled air?

CO2. Oxygen decreases after diffusion into the blood and CO2 being released in respiration is expired in greater concentrations.
