4.1 CO2 Flashcards
1
Q
rate of co2 to bicarbonate reaction in plasma vs RBCs
A
slow vs fast
2
Q
chloride shift
A
bicarbonate production in RBCs is transported out to plasma in exchange for chloride
3
Q
Haldane effect
A
oxygenated Hb binds CO2 less well so unloads CO2
4
Q
what organ controls bicarbonate production?
A
kidney
5
Q
compare respiratory and metabolic compensation buffering systems
A
resp: compensates for metabolic issue, fast
metabolic: compensates for rest issue, slower
6
Q
why does deoxy Hb have a higher affinity for CO2?
A
allosteric modulation of CO2 binding sites
