Hemoglobin in blood can more readily combine with carbon dioxide when blood passes through the tissues. This is due to:
1. Bohr effect.
2. Haldane effect
3. chloride shift
4. Hering-Breuer Reflex

The chloride shift is also known as Hamburger phenomenon and it
1. occurs primarily in pulmonary capillaries.
2. occurs when Cl- replace HCO3- within red blood cells.
3. decreases the formation of bicarbonate ions.
4. decreases the number of hydrogen ions.

The respiratory system does not:
1. allow oxygen from the air to enter the blood and carbon dioxide to leave the blood and enter the air.
2. alter the pH by changing oxygen levels.
3. provide protection against some microorganisms by preventing their entry into the body and by removing them from respiratory surfaces.
4. allow for speech and sound generation.
