am very amused. below is what shakira discovered..
Carbon dioxide, when breathed in high concentrations (about 5% by volume), is toxic to humans and other animals. Hemoglobin, the main molecule in red blood cells, can bind both to oxygen and to carbon dioxide. If the CO2 concentration is too high, then all hemoglobin is saturated with carbon dioxide and no oxygen transport takes place (even if plenty of oxygen is in the air). Carbon dioxide and dry ice should therefore only be handled in well ventilated areas.
The CO2 that is carried in blood can be find in different areas. 8% of CO2 is in the plasma as a gas. 20% of it is bound to hemoglobin, The CO2 bounded to hemolobin is not competing with oxygen binding since it binds to amino acids rather than hemo molecules.The remaining 72% of it is carried as bicarbonate HCO3- which is a buffer important in our pH regulation. The level of bicarbonate is regulated and if it is high then we breath more rapidly to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide.
The level of carbon dioxide/bicarbonate in the blood affects the thickness of the blood capillaries. If it is high, the capillaries expand and more blood rushes in and carries the excess bicarbonate to the lungs. To help avoid the loss of carbon dioxide to a deadly low level, the body has developed certain defensive mechanisms. These include contractions of the air pipes and blood pipes, and the increased production of mucus.
gosh. haha! pointless chem car. tsk..
this week passed fast.. monday was trg. tuesday was go home early day.
