Is this correct?[edit]

I think this information is incorrect--Most bicarb travels in the blood (90%). CO and water diffuse across the membrane, then via Carbonic anhydrase shift are changed to bicarb and protons. The protons are buffered by deoxyhemoglobin and the bicarb goes out in exchange for the Cl- anion. Then, bicarb travels in plasma to the lungs, where the situation reverses. I would fix it, but this is my first step in Wikipedia, and I'm kind of leery about changing anything as of yet--plus I don't have a good reference. I think Boulpep's Medical Phys probably has this info in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vandijk81 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the amove statement that the article in not accurate and has the system reversed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.14.127.138 (talk) 22:42, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Made several edits today to correct the article and clarify, from USMLE First Aid. Everything should be correct now, though I'm always happy to be corrected and see the truth win out. 74.192.210.185 (talk) 17:01, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
