Abstract

The laboratory exercise “Carbonic Anhydrase” (modified from Maren, 1960) in conjunction with the “Oxygen Dissociation” lab gives the student exposure to various aspects of the gas transport function of blood. The procedure is rather straight forward. The only limiting factor has been the carbon dioxide supply, being too costly for our budget. Two modifications developed in our lab have made it possible to reintroduce this exercise.
