Exploring the Complexities of CO2 Carriage in Blood

Exploring the intricate processes of carbon dioxide transport in the blood, including comparisons with oxygen carriage, discussion of dissolved CO2, bicarbonate, and carbaminohemoglobin compounds, as well as the release mechanisms through the lungs. The chapter covers the Haldane effect, variations in CO2 fractions in arterial and venous blood, and the implications on red blood cells and buffering proteins.
