Tidal volume?
Total volume of air while inhaling or exhaling
Inspiratory reserve volume
Additional volume of air after forceful inhalation

Name the all types of hemoglobin
Embryonic - Gower 1
Fetus - HbF
Adult - HbA1, HbA2
Bohr Effect
When the pH is low, so the affinity of O2 towards hemoglobin decreases and CO2 affinity increases.
Haldane Effect
When the oxygen has higher conc. it binds to hemoglobin leading to the disassociation of CO2 from hemoglobin
Where does CO2 is found most in? Blood, plasma or hemoglobin?
Blood in the form of bicarbonate ions
