16
Q

Hb concentration decreases

A

O2 saturation normal

17
Q

myoglobin

A

in skeletal and cardiac muscle

18
Q

R shift in oxygen dissociation curve

A

decrease affinity for O2 and increased temp

19
Q

co2 mostly transported

A

in blood as HCO3

20
Q

what catalyses HCO3

A

carbonic anhydrase

21
Q

CO2 binds to which part of Hb

A

globin

22
Q

reduced Hb binds to

A

more CO2 than HbO2

23
Q

haldane affect

A

o2 released at tissues

increased Hb affinity for CO2 so CO2 taken from tissues

24
Q

inspiration caused by

A

dorsal resp group neurons

25
Q

rhythm generated in

A

medulla

modified by pons

26
Q

chemoreceptors

A

sense value of gas tensions

27
Q

what diffuses across blood brain barrier

A

co2 not H+
