The process in the body that produces carbon dioxide consists of air being taken into the lungs, known as inspiration or inhalation. The air is then taken back out, known as expiration or exhalation. Carbon dioxide is a waste gas produced when carbon combines with oxygen associated with energy-making processes in the body. Respiration is a term given to exchanges of oxygen found in the environment for the carbon dioxide from cells in the body. The respiratory system and the lungs allow for oxygen present in air to be absorbed by the body and allows the release of the waste gas carbon dioxide in air that is breathed out.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gaseous waste product from metabolism. The blood carries carbon dioxide to your lungs, where it is exhaled. More than 90% of carbon dioxide in your blood exists in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3).The rest of the carbon dioxide is either dissolved carbon dioxide gas (CO2) or carbonic acid (H2CO3).Your kidneys and lungs balance the levels of carbon dioxide, bicarbonate, and carbonic acid in the blood. This test measures the level of bicarbonate in a sample of blood from a vein.he blood carries carbon dioxide to your lungs, where it is exhaled. More than 90% of carbon dioxide in your blood exists in the form of bicarbonate (HCO3).
