When carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the bloodstream, it primarily exists in three forms: dissolved CO2, bicarbonate ions (HCO3-), and carbamino compounds. CO2 is a byproduct of cellular respiration and, when transported to the lungs, it helps maintain acid-base balance in the body. Increased levels of CO2 in the blood can lead to respiratory acidosis, which can affect the body's pH and trigger the respiratory center in the brain to increase breathing rate for expelling excess CO2. Proper regulation of CO2 levels is crucial for maintaining overall physiological function.

How are oxygen and carbon dioxcide carried into the blood?

Oxygen is carried into the blood by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells, forming oxyhemoglobin. Carbon dioxide is carried into the blood in three ways: dissolved in plasma, bound to hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin, and converted to bicarbonate ions through the bicarbonate buffer system.
