Question
Chapter 31, Problem 19RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The method by which oxygen is carried in the blood by specifically explaining the role of hemoglobin.
Introduction: The carbon dioxide and oxygen are respiratory gases. They both go through the respiration system but in the opposite direction.
Summary Introduction
To explain: The method by which carbon dioxide is carried in the blood.
