Question

Which among the following favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin in the alveoli of lungs?

• A. High $pO2$
• B. Lower temperature
• C. Low $pCO2$
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Oxygen is transported by the blood in the form of oxyhaemoglobin. Oxygen combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. There are various factors that favour the formation of oxyhaemoglobin in the lungs. They include high pO${}_2$, low pCO${}_2$ , lesser H+ concentration and lower temperature.
