Document Summary

Lab 5: explain how the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood affects its ph. Hemoglobin within the rbc acts as a buffer and binds hydrogen ions in the reaction (h+ + hb. If blood partial pressure of carbon dioxide is elevated much above normal, the hemoglobin buffer cannot soak up all the h+ produced from the reaction of co2 and water. Tidal volume is the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a normal breathing cycle. During times of increased demand, such as exercise, the tidal volume can be increased (and is expected to be increased) by using some of the reserve lung volumes to bring more fresh air into the body. The vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be voluntarily moved into or out of the respiratory system with one breath, and is the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and tidal volume.
