Moved to homework forums as it looks a lot like homework to me... Bob.

I know that oxygen and CO2 are exchanged in the aveoli. I am wondering if all the CO2 we inhale is exhaled. If not, what are the circumstances that some inhaled CO2 would be retained and utilized in the body?

Would the body take up some of the CO2 inhaled?
