1. \(HCO^-_3\)
2. \(CO_2\)
3. \(O_2\)
4. \(N_2\)
A. | Breathing or pulmonary ventilation by which air is drawn in and CO2 rich air is released out |
B. | Diffusion of O2 and CO2 between blood and tissue |
C. | Transport of gases by the blood |
D. | Diffusion of O2 and CO2 across alveolar membrane |
E. | Utilization of O2 by the cells for catabolic reactions and resultant release of CO2 |
