Detailed explanation-1: -Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from your lungs to your body’s tissues. Your tissues produce energy with the oxygen and release a waste, identified as carbon dioxide. Your red blood cells take the carbon dioxide waste to your lungs for you to exhale.
Detailed explanation-2: -In pulmonary capillary blood, the red blood cell releases carbon dioxide and the haemoglobin affinity for oxygen is increased. The oxygenated haemoglobin binds fewer hydrogen ions making it more acidic but the fall in PCO2, and the shift in chloride and bicarbonate ions, makes the red blood cell less acidic.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main job of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carbon dioxide as a waste product, away from the tissues and back to the lungs. Hemoglobin (Hgb) is an important protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of our body.
Detailed explanation-4: -The walls of the alveoli share a membrane with the capillaries. That’s how close they are. This lets oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse, or move freely, between the respiratory system and the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules attach to red blood cells, which travel back to the heart.
