Mr. Jones has a blood pH of 7.00 and a temperature of 100.5°F. His oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve would
A) shift to the right, causing more O2 to be released to his cells.
B) shift to the left, allowing less O2 to be released to his cells.
C) show no change, allowing the O2 concentration to remain stable.
Oxygen-Hemoglobin Dissociation
The process by which oxygen molecules detach from hemoglobin within red blood cells, allowing oxygen to be released to tissues.
- Clarify the physiological concepts that underpin the correlation between oxygen and hemoglobin depicted in the dissociation curve.
- Explain how physical variables like temperature and pH influence the efficacy of gas exchange.
