32
Q

why is tissue P-O2 always lower than in arterial blood P-O2?

A

so oxygen moves from blood to tissues

33
Q

why is tissue P-CO2 always higher than arterial blood P-CO2 ?

A

so CO2 moves from tissues into blood

34
Q

molecular O2 is carried in blood in two ways:

A

dissolved in plasma
loosely bound to each Fe of hemoglobin in RBCs

35
Q

each hemoglobin is composed of . . .

A

4 polypeptide chains

36
Q

what is oxyhemoglobin?

A

hemoglobin-O2 combination

37
Q

what is reduced hemoglobin (deoxyhemoglobin)?

A

hemoglobin that has released O2

38
Q

loading and unloading of O2 is facilitated by what?

A

a change in shape of Hb

39
Q

fully saturated:

A

all four heme groups carry O2

40
Q

partially saturated:

A

when only one to three hemes carry O2

41
Q

why is rate of loading and unloading of O2 regulated?

A

to ensure adeqaute oxygen delivery to cells

42
Q

factors that influence hemoglobin saturation:

A

P-O2

43
Q

other factors influencing hemoglobin saturation:

A

temperature
blood pH
P-CO2
concentration of BPG

44
Q

what happens when there is a decrease in hemoglobin saturation?

A

shifts the curve to the left which is a decrease in oxygen unloading from blood

45
Q

what is the bohr affect?

A

declining blood pH and increasing P-CO2 cause hemoglobin - O2 bond to weaken

46
Q

hemoglobin dissociation curve (left & right)?

A

left = decrease
right = increase

47
Q

OXYhemoglobin dissociation curve (left & right)?

A

left = increase
right = decrease

48
Q

O2 carrying capacity of blood is ____________ upon the hemoglobin concentration

A

dependent

49
Q

what is lower than normal O2 carrying capacity?

A

anemia

50
Q

what is higher than normal O2 carrying capacity?

A

polycythemia

51
Q

CO2 is transported to blood in three forms:

A
  • dissolved in plasma
  • chemically bound to hemoglobin
  • as bicarbonate ion in the plasma
52
Q

increased CO2 _________ blood pH

decreased CO2 _________ blood pH

A

decreased
increased

53
Q

haldane effect

A

amount of CO2 transported is affected by PO2

54
Q

the lower the PO2 and hemoglobin O2 saturation then . . .

A

the more CO2 can be carried in blood

55
Q

changes in ____________ and _______ affect blood pH

A
56
Q

what is hypoxia?

A

inadequate O2 delivery to tissues
