Does anybody have any extra notes on changing chemical composition of the blood?

Various products that move in/out of blood and tissue that it occurs at:
Lung tissue: Oxygen received, carbon dioxide released
Body tissues: Carbon dioxide received, oxygen released
Stomach tissue: Water and other substances (eg. alcohol) diffuses in
Small intestinal tissue: Digested food, amino acids, glucose diffuse in
Liver tissue: Removal of vitamins, iron, excess lipids, glucose. Glucose added if levels are low. Unwanted or poisonous substances removed, excess amino acids removed
Large intestinal tissue: Water, salts, vitamins passed in
Kidney tissue: Excess water and salt removed
Endocrine tissue: Glands secrete hormones into blood stream
Lung tissue: Oxygen received, carbon dioxide released
Body tissues: Carbon dioxide received, oxygen released

Urea - Urea is produced in the liver tissue, consequently the hepatic vein which removes blood from the liver has a high concentration of urea. Urea within the blood is highest within the renal artery, where it is then excreted from the body.
Organic Nutrients - Glucose etc, are absorbed in the small intestine consequently the hepatic portal vein which carries materials from the small intestine to the liver has a high concentration of these nutrients. The concentration remains high in the arteries, and falls in the veins as the sugars have been delivered to cells via the capillaries (from the arteries).
Hormones - Are produced by the endocrine tissue upon need within the body and thus concentrations within the body can fluctuate.
Oxygen - Oxygen’s concentration is greatest in the pulmonary vein, which transports newly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The concentration of oxygen falls in the capillaries as oxygen diffuses into cells, and then the veins obviously have a low oxygen concentration as they carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart.
Hope that helps
