Question

Label the mechanisms of carbon dioxide transport. Instructions Decide which processes occur in tissue capillaries (on top of diagram) and which occur in the lungs (bottom of diagram). Then sort the boxes. This really helps because the arrows don't always point to the best spot, and that can be frustrating. You may have to move the boxes around a bit until everything makes sense Please give this a good faith effort. If you really get lost or frustrated, look at Fig 18.11 in your text.

Explanation / Answer

1- cellular respiration generates CO2.

2- 23% CO2 transported bound to hemoglobin.

3- 7% CO2 transported dissolved in plasma.

4- 70% of CO2 transported by conversion to bicarbonate and H+.

5- Dissolved CO2 diffuses out of the plasma.

6- By law of mass action, CO2 that had been bound to hemoglobin or circulating as bicarbonate diffuses out of RBC.

7- Carbonic acid reaction reverses.

8- Hydrogen ion disassociates from hemoglobin and bind to bicarbonate.
