1. GAS TRANSPORT &CONTROL OF RESPIRATION
2. GAS TRANSPORT Blood transports Oxygen and Carbon dioxide between lungs and the tissues of the body
These gases are transported in different states
Dissolved in plasma
Chemically combined with hemoglobin
Converted to a different molecule
3. Oxygen Transport Due to low solubility, only 1.5 % of oxygen is dissolved in plasma 98.5 % of oxygen combines with hemoglobin
