The transportation of carbon dioxide involves a reversible reaction involving the bicarbonate ion. If this reaction was not readily reversible, then carbon dioxide would would drop, as high carbon dioxide levels cause hyperventilation build up in the tissues and become toxic would remain at a constant level, as red blood cells are frequently replaced be released in the lungs when the concentration gradient become large

Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process through which different biological systems maintain constant internal environmental conditions to compensate for environmental changes. In human physiology, it is a process of self-regulating internal, chemical, and physical conditions at an optimal level for survival. The stability through homeostasis can be attained through dynamic equilibrium, in which there is a continuous change until it reaches its systemic conditions.
