- Collecting duct acid secretion, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Collecting duct acid secretion, organism-specific biosystemOne of the important roles of the collecting duct segment of the kidney nephron is acid secretion. As daily food intake loads acid into the body, urinary acid excretion is essential, and urine pH can...

- Metabolism, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Metabolism, organism-specific biosystemMetabolic processes in human cells generate energy through the oxidation of molecules consumed in the diet and mediate the synthesis of diverse essential molecules not taken in the diet as well as th...
- O2/CO2 exchange in erythrocytes, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
O2/CO2 exchange in erythrocytes, organism-specific biosystemIn capillaries of the lungs erythrocytes release carbon dioxide (CO2) and acquire oxygen (O2). In other tissues of the body the reverse reaction occurs (reviewed in Nikinmaa 1997, Jensen 2004).In the...
- Pancreatic secretion, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Pancreatic secretion, organism-specific biosystemThe pancreas performs both exocrine and endocrine functions. The exocrine pancreas consists of two parts, the acinar and duct cells. The primary functions of pancreatic acinar cells are to synthesiz...

- Proximal tubule bicarbonate reclamation, organism-specific biosystem (from KEGG)
Proximal tubule bicarbonate reclamation, organism-specific biosystemOne of the major tasks of the renal proximal tubule (PT) is to secrete acid into the tubule lumen, thereby reabsorbing approximately 80% of the filtered bicarbonate (HCO3(-)), as well as generating "...

- Reversible Hydration of Carbon Dioxide, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Reversible Hydration of Carbon Dioxide, organism-specific biosystemCarbonic anhydrases reversibly catalyze the hydration of carbon dioxide and directly produce bicarbonate and protons, bypassing the formation of carbonic acid (reviewed in Lindskog 1997, Breton 2001,...
- Uptake of Carbon Dioxide and Release of Oxygen by Erythrocytes, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Uptake of Carbon Dioxide and Release of Oxygen by Erythrocytes, organism-specific biosystemCarbon dioxide (CO2) in plasma is hydrated to yield protons (H+) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) by carbonic anhydrase IV (CA4) located on the apical plasma membranes of endothelial cells. Plasma CO2 is also...
- Uptake of Oxygen and Release of Carbon Dioxide by Erythrocytes, organism-specific biosystem (from REACTOME)
Uptake of Oxygen and Release of Carbon Dioxide by Erythrocytes, organism-specific biosystemErythrocytes circulating through the capillaries of the lung must exchange carbon dioxide (CO2) for oxygen (O2) during their short (0.5-1 sec.) transit time in pulmonary tissue (Reviewed in Jensen 20...
