In broad terms, yes, humans and dogs absorb and use CO2 in similar manners. The specific enzymes in the metabolic pathways are slightly different and the tolerable limits on blood CO2 levels vary slightly, but the overall mechanisms are the same.

How do dogs exchange gas?

Dogs exchange gas through respiration, where they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Their lungs absorb oxygen from the air, which is then transported to cells in the body to be used for energy production. Waste carbon dioxide is expelled from the body when they exhale.


Do dogs excrete?

Yes, they excrete carbon dioxide, water, and feces just like humans do.


Why is a carbon dioxide cycle called a cycle?

it is called cycle because when we exhale we gives off carbon dioxide, and it is absorb by plants, then after the process called photosynthesis it gives off oxygen to the atmosphere, then now we inhale it and after we inhale we exhale the carbon dioxide and goes to the atmosphere then absorb by plants, gives off oxygen, goes to the atmosphere, then inhale it and so on and so forth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for shorth will go back and go back. not like the one way flow of energy that will remain.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .


Can dogs smell radon or carbon dioxide?

Dogs can be trained to detect some gases, including radon, but they are not typically used for this purpose. Dogs have a harder time detecting carbon dioxide as it is a colorless and odorless gas, making it more challenging for them to recognize.


What are the Main functions of the lungs in a dogs body?

providing the body with oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide


Do dogs attract mosquitoes?

Yes, dogs can attract mosquitoes because they emit carbon dioxide and body heat, which are attractive to mosquitoes seeking a blood meal.


If humans hyperventilate they develop respiratory alkalosis with tingling dizziness and carpopedal spasm Why don't dogs have the same problems when they hyperventilate to control temperature?

Because a dogs respiratory system is different from a humans. More accurately, dogs don't hyperventilate when they pant. They are breathing at higher frequencies, but they are ventilating dead space in the airways and not increasing gas exchange relative to metabolic rate. The definition of hyperventilation is a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood, which doesn't occur in panting dogs. A more correct term for the increase in ventilation that occurs when dogs pant is hyperpnea.
