3 Questions
Match the following forms of carbon dioxide with their descriptions:
Dissolved = CO2 is transported in the blood in this form Bicarbonate = One of the forms in which CO2 is transported in the blood Carbamino compounds = One of the forms in which CO2 is transported in the blood Oxygenated haemoglobin = This type of haemoglobin is not able to carry as much CO2 as its counterpart
Match the following statements with the correct forms of carbon dioxide:
CO2 is produced in tissues as a waste product of respiration = Dissolved Deoxygenated haemoglobin is able to carry more CO2 than oxygenated haemoglobin = Carbamino compounds CO2 is excreted in the lungs = Bicarbonate Removal of carbon dioxide is vital to maintain a normal acid-base balance = Bicarbonate
Match the following descriptions with the correct forms of carbon dioxide:
CO2 is produced in tissues as a waste product of respiration and is excreted in the lungs = Bicarbonate CO2 is transported in the blood in this form = Dissolved One of the forms in which CO2 is transported in the blood = Carbamino compounds This type of haemoglobin is not able to carry as much CO2 as its counterpart = Oxygenated haemoglobin
Test your knowledge about carbon dioxide transport in the body and its role in maintaining acid-base balance.
