Chloride shift

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The exchange of bicarbonate $(HCO_3^-)$ ions and chloride $(Cl^-)$ ions between $RBC$s and blood plasma is known as the chloride shift or the Hamburger phenomenon.When $CO_2$ enters the $RBC$s,it reacts with water to form carbonic acid,which dissociates into $H^+$ and $HCO_3^-$. To maintain electrical neutrality,$Cl^-$ ions move from the plasma into the $RBC$s in exchange for $HCO_3^-$ ions moving out into the plasma.
