 to the epithelium tissues
(b) acts as a reserve during muscular exercise
(c) raises the pCO2
 of blood to 75 mm of Hg
(d) is enough to keep oxyhaemoglobin saturation at 96%
 122. Bulk of carbon dioxide (CO2
) released from body tissues into blood is present as
(a) bicarbonate in blood plasma and RBCs
(b) free CO2
 in blood plasma
(c) 70% Carbaminohaemoglobin and 30% as bicarbonate
(d) Carbaminohaemoglobin in RBCs




125. How O2
 and CO2
 gets transported through blood?
(a) with the help of RBCs and blood plasma
(b) with the help of RBCs and WBCs
(c) with the help of WBCs and blood serum
(d) with the help of platelets and corpuscles
 126. During oxygen transport the oxyhaemoglobin at the tissue level liberates oxygen to the cells
because in tissue
(a) O2
 concentration is high and CO2
 is low
(b) O2
 concentration is low and CO2
 is also low
(c) O2
 tension is high and CO2
 tension is low
(d) O2
 tension is low and CO2
 tension is high
 127. The blood leaving the lungs has all its hemoglobin oxygenated and gives up oxygen to the tis-
sues because
(a) the tissue can absorb O2
 from oxyhaemoglobin
(b) O2
 concentration in tissues is lower and CO2
 concentration is higher as compared to lungs
(c) O2
 concentration in tissues is higher and CO2
 concentration is lower as compared to lungs
(d) oxyhaemoglobin undergoes reduction
 128. During one circuit of blood from lungs to the tissues and back through circulatory system, the
percentage of haemoglobin giving up its oxygen to tissues is
(a) 25% (b) 50% (c) 75% (d) 100%
