gassetransport
Gas transport is the physiological process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried between the lungs and tissues through the circulatory system. It links the respiratory gas exchange that occurs in the lungs with the delivery of oxygen to cells and the removal of carbon dioxide from metabolism.
Oxygen transport: Most oxygen is bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells, though a small portion is
Carbon dioxide transport: CO2 is carried in blood in several forms. Dissolved CO2 accounts for a portion
Regulation and adaptation: The Bohr effect describes reduced hemoglobin affinity for oxygen with higher acidity and
Clinical relevance: Conditions such as anemia, polycythemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and pulmonary diseases can impair gas
