hypoxic hypoxia
inadequate O2 uptake in lungs
stagnant (ischemic) hypoxia
inadequate blood flow to an organ (arteriosclerosis, PVD, stroke, MI)
anemic hypoxia
inadequate blood o2 carrying capacity. inactivated hemoglobin
histotoxic hypoxia
interference with mitochondrial respiration (like cyanide poisoning)
normal Hb
15g/dL
RBC carry ___ times more o2 than plasma
65
how many subunits does hb have
4
each gm of Hb can carry up to how much o2?
1.31ml
what shape is the Hbo2 curve
sigmoid
the ratio of o2 bound to hb compared to total amount that can be bound is
oxygen saturation
maximal amt of o2 bound to hb is
oxygen capacity
