Which of the following statements regarding the chloride shift in the respiratory system is INCORRECT?
Chloride ions move into the red blood cell as bicarbonate ions move out.
It occurs in systemic capillaries.
It is essential for maintaining electrical neutrality during CO2 transport.
It results in a decrease in the pH of the red blood cell
Which of the following accurately describes the role of the chloride shift in respiration?
Facilitates oxygen binding to hemoglobin
Increases carbon dioxide solubility in plasma
Maintains electroneutrality during bicarbonate transport
Regulates the pH of the cerebrospinal fluid
Which statement BEST describes the chloride shift in the context of transport in blood?
Chloride ions move out of red blood cells as bicarbonate ions diffuse in.
Chloride ions move into red blood cells to maintain electroneutrality as bicarbonate ions diffuse out.
Chloride ions and bicarbonate ions move in the same direction across the red blood cell membrane.
Chloride shift occurs primarily in the plasma, not within red blood cells.
In the context of respiration, what does the Chloride Shift refer to?
Movement of chloride ions out of RBCs to maintain electrochemical neutrality
Movement of bicarbonate ions into RBCs
Movement of oxygen into RBCs
Movement of chloride ions into RBCs to maintain electrochemical neutrality
What happens in Hamburger shift?
Movement of sodium ions into red blood cells to balance the outflow of potassium ions.
Exchange of bicarbonate and chloride ions across the red blood cell membrane to maintain electroneutrality.
Diffusion of oxygen from the lungs into red blood cells and binding with hemoglobin.
Conversion of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide within red blood cells.
What happens in Hamburger shift?
Sodium ions move into the red blood cells in exchange for potassium ions.
Chloride ions move into the red blood cells in exchange for bicarbonate ions to maintain electrical neutrality.
Bicarbonate ions move into the red blood cells in exchange for oxygen.
Potassium ions move out of the red blood cells in exchange for chloride ions.
