More than 98% of the oxygen in blood is bound o…and 2% is dissolved in…
hemoglobin, plasma
blood travels to the tissues that have a low PO2, this causes…
draws O2 out of the plasma, which disrupts the equilibrium and causes Hb to release its O2 into the plasma
What determines oxygen-Hb binding?
PO2
Plasma O2 is determined by alveolar PO2, which depends on..?
Plasma O2 determines
% saturation of Hb
Amount of hemoglobin determines…
total number of Hb binding sites
percent saturation of hemoglobin
The amount of O2 bound to hemoglobin at any given PO2
