Which of the following statements is not correct?
1. Every 100 ml of oxygenated blood can deliver around 5 ml of oxygen to the tissue under normal physiological conditions.
2. Oxygen gas has most potent effect on the central chemoreceptors and plays most vital role in regulation of respiration
3. Nearly 70 percent of carbon dioxide is carried as bicarbonate in the blood.
4. Every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood delivers about 4 ml of carbon dioxide to the alveoli.
