1. directly catalyzing the reaction:

H2CO3
v CO2 + H2O.
2. being composed of hemoglobin and other
soluble proteins necessary for gaseous
respiratory exchange.
3. containing lipoproteins and specific blood
group substances.
4. having a high histone content.
5. being a site of de novo hemoglobin
synthesis.

1. continuous flow in the capillaries

would change into pulsatile flow,
2. arterial pulse pressure would diminish.
3. diastolic pressure would not be affected.
4. systolic pressure would not be affected.
