Question

Which of the following happens with the increase in body temperature due to enhanced metabolic activities in the human body?

• A. Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve will shift to right side at tissue level
• B. Affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen will increase at tissue level
• C. Sensitivity of chemoreceptors to $p{O}_2$ increases dramatically white it falls for $pC{O}_2$ & $H^{+}$
• D. Bohr's effect will not occur

Answer 1

The correct option is A Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve will shift to right side at tissue level

Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve relates to the oxygen saturation and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood. The amount of haemoglobin requirement and then released from the blood to surrounding tissues. The oxygen dissociation curve can be shifted right or left by a variety of factors. A right shift indicates decreased oxygen affinity of haemoglobin which allows more oxygen to the tissues. A left shift indicates increased oxygen affinity allows less oxygen to the tissues.

So, the correct answer is 'Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve will shift to the right side at tissue level'.
