Explain the transport of Carbon dioxide by blood. 

Answer»
  • 20-25 % of Carbon dioxide is carried by hemoglobin as carbamino-hemoglobin. 
  • When pCO2 is high and pO2 is low as in the tissue more binding of CO2 occurs, where as when pCO2 is low and pO2 high as in the alveoli, disassociation of CO2 from carbmino- hemoglobin takes place. 
  • CO2 + H2O – H2CO3 – HCO3+ H+
