RS Lec 6 Flashcards
O2 in blood forms
- dissolved (2%)
- combined with hemoglobin (98%)
dissolved O2 proportional to (2)
PO2
solubility
98% (197 ml/L) of O2 carried on
hemoglobin in red blood cells
hemoglobin made of
- globins: 4 subunits (a.a) - 2 alpha/ 2 beta
- 4 heme groups
heme (def.)
porphyrin ring structure that has Fe2+ that O2 binds
each HB molecule can bind
4 O2- one per subunit (O2 + Hb HbO2)
Hb
deoxyhemoglobin
HbO2
oxyhemoglobin
O2 capacity
max amount of O2 that is combined with Hb
1 g Hb combines with (amount of O2)
1.39 ml O2
normal conditions (g Hb/ 100 ml blood)
15g Hb/100 ml
max O2 capacity (g Hb/100 ml)
20.8 ml O2/100 ml blood
Hb saturation
- percentage of available Hb binding sites that have O2 attached
- O2 with Hb/ O2 capacity x 100%
Hb saturation of arterial blood (100 mmHg PO2)
97.5%
Hb saturation of mixed venous blood (40 mmHg PO2)
75%
factors that determine Hb saturation
- arterial PO2 (most important)
- cooperative binding (sigmoidal dissociation curve)
dissociation curve sensitive to
- pH
- pCO2
- temp.
cooperative binding
O2 binding causes change from T (tense) to R (relaxed) state in a globin, facilitates change in other globin and additional O2 binding
plateau in dissociation curve
60-100 mmHg
plateau in dissociation curve can indicate
reduced arterial PO2 (therefore reduced alveolar PO2
plateau in dissociation curve (saturation drop)
10 % over 100 to 60 mmHg of PO2
steep portion in dissociation curve
40 - 60 mmHg
steep portion in dissociation curve unload
large amounts of oxygen with small decrease in PO2
steep portion in dissociation curve changes leads to
changes in O2 unloading by the binding of compounds produced in peripheral tissue
increases metabolic rate facilitates
diffusion from plasma leading to a drop in plasma PO2
anemia
reduction in Hb amount in blood
polycythemia
increase of Hb amount in blood or reduction of blood volume that increases Hb concentration
carbon monoxide affinity for Hb compared to O2
200x
carbon monoxide effects on HB
- reduction in O2-Hb binding
- shift to the left in curve (no sigmoidal curve).
- decrease of unloading of O2 to tissue
pH changes effects on curve
increase pH=shift to left
temp changes effects on curve
increase temp=shift to right
PCO2 changes effects on curve
increase PCO2=shift to right
DPG (2,3 diphosphoglycerate) is
an end product of RBC metabolism
DPG changes effects on curve
shift to right
changes to the right (on the curve)
O2 affinity of Hb is reduced = more unloading
changes to the left (on the curve)
O2 affinity of Hb is increased = less unloading
3 forms that carbon dioxide exist in the blood
- dissolved (5%)
- HCO3- (60-65%)
- carbamino compounds (25-30%)
CO2 solubility is high
- 0.067 ml CO2/100 ml blood (each mmHg)
- @ 40 mmHg 2.68 ml CO2/ 100 ml blood
CO2 and Hb (affinity)
deoxyHb has higher affinity or CO2 compared to OxyHb
Hb buffers pH of blood
H+bounded to Hb and not dissolved in RBC/plasma
-deoxyHb has a higher affinity for H+ compared to OxyHb
Hypoventilation (CO2 production > CO2 elimination)
PCO2/H+ increase
Hyperventilation (CO2 production < CO2 elimination)
PCO2/ H+ decrease
respiratory acidosis
increase in blood H+ concentration dependent on changes in PCO2
metabolic acidosis
increase in blood H+ concentration independent on changes in PCO2
respiratory alkalosis
decrease in blood H+ concentration dependent on changes in PCO2
metabolic alkalosis
decrease in blood H+ concentration independent on changes in PCO2
