4 0

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) acts on the vascular system and the urinary system to regulate solute-water content in the body. During dehydration, secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, the hormone promotes reabsorption of water from urine in the renal tubules hence decreasing plasma osmolarity.

Carbon dioxide is carried from the tissues to the lungs by a variety of mechanisms. Which of the following lists these mechanism
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

bicarbonate-carbaminohemoglobin-dissolved in plasma

Explanation:

Transport of CO2 in the blood occurs in three main forms. Most of the CO2 is carried in the blood as bicarbonate. It accounts for transport of about 70% CO2. In RBCs, CO2 reacts with water in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into H+ and HCO3-. Bicarbonate formation also occurs in blood plasma.

About 23% of CO2 is carried in the form of carbamino-compounds. Binding of CO2 to hemoglobin forms carbaminohemoglobin. The smallest percentage of CO2 (about 7%) is dissolved in blood plasma and is diffused into the alveolar air as it reaches the lungs.
