Carbon Dioxide
Description
Carbon Dioxide is an odorless Gas produced within the body.
Biological Function of Carbon Dioxide
Excretory System
Endogenous Carbon Dioxide (but not inhaled Carbon Dioxide) combines with Ammonia (formed as a byproduct of "spent" Amino Acids) to form Urea which is excreted from the body via the Urine.
Conventional Medical Usage of Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide is often employed as the cooling agent in Cryotherapy.
These Substances may Enhance the Function of Carbon Dioxide
Electromagnetic Radiation
Negative Ions may increase Hemoglobin’s affinity with Oxygen causing the partial Carbon Dioxide pressure in the blood to decrease.
Enzymes
Carbonic Anhydrase accelerates the reaction between Carbon Dioxide and Water to form Carbonic Acid in the Red Blood Cells.
