Question

name the factorsthat affect the binding of oxygen to Hb to form oxyhaemoglobin?

Open in App
Solution

  • Formation of oxyhaemoglobin depends upon the factors like − partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), pH, temperature

  • In alveoli − pO2 (high), pCO2 (low), pH (high) temperature (low)
    Hence, oxyhaemoglobin forms.

  • In tissues − pO2 (low), pCO2 (high), pH (low) temperature (high)
    Hence, oxyhaemoglobin dissociates.
