About 20- 25% of CO2 is carried by haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin. Neural signals from pneumotaxic centre in pons region of brain can reduce the duration of inspiration and hence, alters the respiratory rate.

Q. Statement I: About 70% of $C O_{2}$ is carried by haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin.
