22
Q

“shift to the right”?

A
  • decreased pH
  • increases levels of 2,3-DPG
  • decreases hemoglobins affinity for the oxygen molecule
  • increases O2 delivery to the tissues

23
Q

“shift to the left”

A
  • increased pH
  • decreased temp
  • increased hemoglobin O2 affinity
  • decrease in 2,3-DPG
