Topic 9: Oxygen-hemoglobin dissociationcurve
Define what the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve isand describe why it is physiologically important. explain thesignificance of the sigmoidal shape, including the physiologicalsignificance of the plateau and step portions, and the relationshipbetween oxygen loading/unloading with changes to po2
Give an example of a situation/condition that wouldresult in a right shift of the oxygen hemoglobin dissociationcurve. explain what causes the shift and relate it to oxygenbinding affinity, loading-unloading of oxygen, and changes inpo2
