Carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuses into blood from tissue site and passes to alveolar site in the form of
bicarbonate; 70%
bicarbonate; 20 - 25%
carbaminohaemoglobin; 60 - 70%
carbaminohaemoglobin; 7%
A.
bicarbonate; 70%
Blood is the medium of transport of O2 and CO2. About 20 - 25% of CO2 is transported by RBCs as carbaminohaemoglobin whereas 70% of it is carried as bicarbonate through plasma. The largest fraction of CO2 is converted to bicarbonate ions (HCO-3) and is transported in plasma. When CO2 diffuses into the RBCs, it combines with H2O and forms carbonic acid (H2CO3). It is unstable and quickly dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.

Which one is correct regarding electrocardiograph (ECG)?
P- wave represents the electrical excitation of the ventricle.
QRS complex represents repolarisation of the ventricles
T- wave represents repolarisation of the atria
By counting the number of QRS complexes one can determine the pulse rate

RBC's contain carbonic anhydrase.
T wave of normal ECG represent of depolarization of ventricle.
The opening between the right atrium and the right ventricle is guarded by the valve named
bicuspid valve
mitral valve
tricuspid valve
semilunar valve.
