APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Transport of Carbon Dioxide in the Blood. Carbon dioxide molecules are transported in the blood from body tissues to the lungs by one of three methods: dissolution directly into the blood, binding to hemoglobin, or carried as a bicarbonate ion. Several properties of carbon dioxide in the blood affect its transport.

Detailed explanation-2: -These are the main roles of the circulatory system. The heart, blood and blood vessels work together to service the cells of the body. Using the network of arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen is carried both physically dissolved in the blood and chemically combined to hemoglobin. Carbon dioxide is carried physically dissolved in the blood, chemically combined to blood proteins as carbamino compounds, and as bicarbonate.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hemoglobin (Hb) molecule within the red blood cell (RBC) carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, transports carbon dioxide from tissues back to lungs, and helps maintain acid–base balance.
