    On this thread, someone said CO2 goes in the middle bottom cell, and someone else said bicarb. Which is it???

    Thanks.
    CO2 and bicarb are interchangable. CO2 does not travel in the blood as a gas, but gets changed into bicarb in the tissues and then back to CO2 in the lungs by a reaction with H2O and the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. So when they say CO2 they are actually measuring bicarb, but the bicarb level represents the level of CO2 in the blood. So basically its 2 ways if referring to the same thing.
    tokebi and Guttercat like this.

    I made up my own version of the "fishbones" with blank templates as well as a "key" with the labels filled in.
    Awesome! Thank you so much!
