Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are primarily responsible for transporting carbon dioxide and other waste products back to the lungs and kidneys for excretion. They carry carbon dioxide from body tissues to the lungs, where it can be expelled during exhalation. Additionally, they help transport some metabolic waste products to the kidneys for filtration and elimination.

In the mammalian fetus where does fetal blood exchenge carbon dioxide for oxygen?

In the mammalian fetus, the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen occurs in the placenta. The placenta is a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy to allow for the transfer of gases, nutrients, and wastes between the maternal and fetal bloodstreams. Oxygen from the mother's blood diffuses into the fetal blood, while carbon dioxide from the fetus diffuses into the mother's blood for elimination.


What job the lungs perform in eliminating wastes from the body?

Yes, in a way. They take out the carbon dioxide from the blood and put the oxygen back in the blood. The sole purpose of the blood is to get oxygen from the lungs and bring it to other body parts and take the carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
