During chloride shift or Hamburger phenomenon, when the whole blood is saturated with CO ₂ , following changes occurs. Which one of them is not correct?

Options

  1. ABicarbonate content of plasma and corpuscles increase
  2. BChloride content of plasma diminished and that of the cell is increased
  3. CTotal base of blood remain unchanged
  4. DWater content and volume of corpuscles decrease

Correct answer

D. Water content and volume of corpuscles decrease

Step-by-step solution

According to Hamburger phenomenon, when the whole blood is saturated with carbon dioxide, the following changes are seen (i) The bicarbonate contents of plasma and corpuscles increase. (ii) The chloride content of plasma is diminished and that of the cell is increased. (iii) The total base (cations) of both plasma and corpuscles remain unchanged. (iv) The water content and the volume of corpuscles increase. (v) When the carbon dioxide is removed from the blood reverse changes takes place. (vi) When CO ₂ enters bloo
