Gas Exchange and Transport Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged across the walls of alveoli and capillaries. Chemical propert

ies of blood and red blood cells allow for efficient transport of gases throughout the body.Carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged across capillary and alveolus walls.Hemoglobin binds with and transports oxygen that diffuses from alveoli to capillaries. It also increases the efficiency of gas exchange.Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three ways. Most combines with water and forms carbonic acid. Some dissolves in plasma.

Which molecule is secreted from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules?
kow [346]
The correct answer is  H+.
<span>Secretion from the peritubular capillary network into the convoluted tubules is a process called tubular secretion. This is an important process for both waste removal and acid-base balance. The secretion step is usually used to remove drugs, toxins, and poisons, or other molecules such as potassium (K+) and hydrogen (H+). The secreted molecules come from the peritubular capillaries and pass through the interstitial fluid before going through the wall of the tubule into the lumen of the tubule.</span>
