Carbon Dioxide Trans
Carbon Dioxide Transport - HCCRT
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What percentage of the CO2 is carried in the RBC's? | 89% |
| CO2 is transported from the tissue cells to the lungs by 6 different mechanisms. | |
| Carbamino Compound | Plasma |
| Ioonized as Bicarbonate | Plasma |
| Dissolved CO2 | Plasma |
| What percentage of CO2 is carried in the plasma? | 11% |
| 5% Dissolved | RBC - Erythrocyte |
| 21% Combined with Hb | RBC - Erythrocyte |
| 63% in the form of HCO3 (Lion's Share) | RBC - Erythrocyte |
| What speeds up the Hydrolysis process? | Catalyst Carbonic Anhydrase |
| Most of the dissolved CO2 that enters the RBC's go through what process? | Hydrolysis |
| As the venous blood enters the capillaries the same chemical reaction occurs at the tissue level but it is__________? | Reversed |
| What 2 things are being compared on the CO2 Dissociation Curve? | Partial Pressure of CO2 & CO2 content of the blood. (curved) |
| What 2 things are being compared on the O2 Dissociation Curve? | Saturation of O2 & Partial Pressure of O2. (90 degree angle) |
| Haldane Effect | Deoxygenation of the blood increases its ability to carry carbon dioxide. |
| Haldane Effect | DeOx blood enhances the loading of CO2 at the tissues. |
| Haldane Effect | Oxygenated blood enhances the unloading of CO2 at lungs. |
| Haldane Effect | When the saturatio of O2 increases in the blood, the CO2 content decreases at any given PCO2. |
