2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What percentage of carbon dioxide is carried by hemoglobin?
Think about how CO₂ interacts with hemoglobin.
What is the primary form in which most carbon dioxide is transported?
Consider the transformation in the blood.
Approximately what percentage of carbon dioxide is transported as bicarbonate?
Think about the most common form of CO₂ transport.
True or False: Higher pO₂ in the lungs leads to increased binding of CO₂ to hemoglobin.
Recall how the pressures of gases influence binding.
Consider a scenario where a person hyperventilates. Explain how this would affect the transport of CO₂ in the blood and the possible physiological ramifications.
Think about how gas exchange is altered when breathing patterns change.
Draw and label a diagram to depict the transport routes of CO₂ in the bloodstream, highlighting the role of bicarbonate and hemoglobin.
Focus on the pathway from tissues to lungs and where the transformations occur.
