It is taken to the lungs and expelled when we exhale ADDITIONALLY: While Oxygen is transported by red cells, CO2 is dissolved in the plasma. (the liquid part of the blood).
If you remember your basic chemistry, when CO2 is dissolved it produces carbonic acid, that's the stuff that makes carbonated drinks fizzy, and it can dissolve some minerals. SO... The body buffers the CO2 to keep from building up too much carbonic acid. When you hold your breath the body cannot expel the CO2 and your blood starts to become more acidic. THAT is the real reason you get the sensation that you MUST take a breath, your body is trying to expel the CO2. You can't detect low levels of oxygen nearly as well as you can detect high levels of CO2. If oxygen is removed from air and replaced with an inert gas, you won't notice it, you'll just go to sleep since the body can still expel the CO2.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to carbon dioxide during external respiration?
During external respiration, carbon dioxide is released from the body by diffusing from the blood into the alveoli in the lungs. It is then exhaled out of the body during the process of breathing.
What brings air into the body and removes carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide
When you exhale what gas does your body get rid off?
When you breathe out, your body gets rid of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
Is carbon dioxide produced in your body?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is one of the products of cellular respiration
How does carbon dioxide from a cell in your hand leave the body Please not too detailed thanks?
The carbon dioxide is dissolved in your blood. The blood travels round the body, to the lungs. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are exchanged during breathing. The Carbon Dioxide is exhaled from the lungs, through the mouth.
What happens to the carbon dioxide produced by your body during the period of apnea?
Carbon dioxide levels increas
What happens to the carbon dioxide by cellular respiration?
It is breathed out of the body by the lungs
What happens to the carbon dioxide in the body when people die?
It goes to the air
What happens to the carbon dioxide atoms in the body of plants?
the body of plats will die coz of the atom
What is carbon dioxide narcosis?
Carbon dioxide narcosis happens when people have too much oxygen. It builds up in the body and becomes toxic
What happens to carbon dioxide during external respiration?
During external respiration, carbon dioxide is released from the body by diffusing from the blood into the alveoli in the lungs. It is then exhaled out of the body during the process of breathing.
Do the lungs take carbon dioxide from the blood?
No. Your lungs pass oxygen into the blood and also pass carbon dioxide to the air outside your body. Oxygen combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide. This happens in our muscles, among other places.
How is carbon dioxide removed from the body?
Carbon dioxide is removed from the body through a process called respiration. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is carried in the blood to the lungs, where it is then exhaled out of the body.
What happens to oxygen after it has been used by your body?
Oxygen that has been used by your body during respiration is converted into carbon dioxide as a waste product. The carbon dioxide is then transported back to the lungs, where it is exhaled out of the body when you breathe.
When you excise your body need more carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the body of plants?
The process of photosynthesis breaks up CO2 molecules.
How does the body eliminate carbon dioxide from the bloodstream?
The body eliminates carbon dioxide from the bloodstream through a process called respiration. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is carried in the blood to the lungs, where it is then exhaled out of the body.
