Statement I: | Carbon dioxide and oxygen compete for binding sites with the hemoglobin. |
Statement II: | Oxygen dissociates faster from hemoglobin during exercise. |
In the given diagram of the oxygen dissociation curve, under normal physiological conditions, the partial pressure of oxygen at the tissue level is represented by :
1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D
Statement I: | The pO2 of the blood normally has no direct effect on respiration. |
Statement II: | The pO2 of the oxygenated blood is higher than the pO2 of the alveolar air. |
1. | Blood pH will decrease in the active tissues. |
2. | Less oxygen will be delivered to the tissues due to increased cardiac contractions resulting in increased blood velocity. |
3. | Capillmies surrounding contracting skeletal muscles will constrict to allow increased freedom of movement. |
4. | The respiratory system will deliver less nitrogen to the blood. |
Statement I: | Each haemoglobin molecule can carry a maximum of four molecules of O2. |
Statement II: | Hemoglobin can bind to four molecules of CO2. |
