CMC MedicalCMC Medical 2014

Solution:

Removal of $ C{{O}_{2}} $ from blood involves both influx of $ C{{l}^{-}} $ ions into RBCs and efflux of $ HCO_{3}^{-} $ ions from RBCs. Exit of bicarbonate ions, change the ionic balance between the plasma and erythrocyte. To balance this, chloride ions again shift to RBCs, this is called as hamburger phenomenon.
