Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve

Question 1

Association

Answer 1

when O2 combines with haemoglobin through diffusion at lungs

Question 2

Saturated

Answer 2

amount of O2 combined with haemoglobin, expressed as a % depends on PPO2

Question 3

Dissociation

Answer 3

when O2 releases from haemoglobin through diffusion at the muscles

Question 4

Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve

Answer 4

relationship between PPO2 & % saturation of haemoglobin

Question 5

Haemoglobin

Answer 5

carries O2 in the blood as oxyhaemoglobin from lungs to the muscles

AT LUNGS haemoglobin ….% with O2

Answer 6

100%

Question 7

AT MUSCLES haemoglobin ….% with O2

Answer 7

75%

Question 8

AT REST ….% of O2 dissociated with haemoglobin & diffuses into muscles

Answer 8

25%
