carriage of carbon dioxide
  1. releasing oxygen
    1. inhaled air in the alveolar has a high pO2 than in the rest of the tissues, and blood in the lungs has alower pO2.
      1. this results in a diffusion gradient and this causes oxygen to move from the alveoli into the haemoglobin in blood cells till the blood is loaded with oxygen.the heamoglobin is now called oxyhaemoglobin as it now has more oxygen.
        1. the oxygenated blood is then taken to tissues where the cellls are respiring all the time and have a low pO2. so because the blood has a high pO2, oxygen will diffuse into the tissues and then get used for respiration.
          1. the blood is then left with a lower partial pressure of oxygen
    2. how hydrogen carbonate ions are formed
      1. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells some of the carbon dioxide will combine with amino acids to form carbine-haemoglobin.
        1. Carbon-hydrase in the red blood cell will catalyse the reaction betwwen water and carbon dioxide to form carbonic-acid
          1. Carbonic acid dissociates into negatively charged hydrogen carbonate and positive hydorgeb ions.The hydrogen ions increase the acidity of blood and combine with Hb to give haemoglobin blood.This decreases the affinity of HB to oxygen and gives it up to the tissues resulting the Bohr effect .
      2. Releasing oxygen the Bohr effect
        1. The high concentration of carbon dioxide causes events in the erythrocyte that make the haemoglobin release some oxygen
          1. This is called the Bohr effect named after Christian Bohr in 1904
          2. high concetrations of carbon dioxide are found in respiring tissues which need oxygen.
            1. These High carbon dioxide concetrations cause haemoglobin to relaease its oxygen even more readily than it would otherwise do.
              1. When a dissociation curve is drawn for haemoglobin at high concetrations of carbon dioxide the curve will lie to the right of and below the standard curve.
                1. Therefore it can be seen as a high carbon dioxide concetration lowers the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen.
          3. How carbon dioxide is transported
            1. Carbon dioxide is produced from respiring tissue it transported in the blood and to the lungs whereby it i released out of the body.
              1. 5% of carbon dioxide will disolve into the plasma.Some of the carbon dioxide diffused into the erythrocytes called Carbonic anyhydrase
                1. 10% is combined directly with haemoglobin to form the compound carbaminohaemoglobin.This is oxygen that has not been brought to carbonic anhydrase attention so instead it combine directly with haemoglobin.
                  1. 85% is tranported in the form hydrogen carbonate
                    1. Carbon dioxide+water +Carbonic acidb because of the Carbonic anhydrase enzyme which catalye the reaction.Carbonic acid then splits as a result a hydrogen ion is formed plus hydrogen carbonate ion
