Describe the Forces That Drive Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Transport

Multiple Choice

Describe the forces that drive oxygen and carbon dioxide transport between the blood and peripheral tissues.

A) Air hydrostatic pressures push oxygen into peripheral tissues and carbon dioxide out of tissues and into blood.
B) The partial pressure gradients push oxygen into peripheral tissues and carbon dioxide out of tissues and into blood.
C) The osmotic pressure gradient of dissolved proteins push oxygen into peripheral tissues and carbon dioxide out of tissues and into blood.
D) The atmospheric pressure gradient drives oxygen into tissues and carbon dioxide moves passively out.
E) The respiratory muscles generate force that drives oxygen into tissue and carbon dioxide moves passively out.
