Chapter 36, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The transportation of carbon dioxide in the blood occurs in three ways. The majority of carbon dioxide is transported in the form of bicarbonate ions. The bicarbonate ions are short-lived that immediately dissociates into H+ and HCO3- which changes the pH of the blood.
