The oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve, also spelled oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, plots the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated form on the vertical axis against the prevailing oxygen tension on the horizontal axis. The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is an important tool for understanding how our blood carries and releases oxygen. Specifically, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve relates oxygen saturation (SO2) and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood (PO2), and is determined by what is called "hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen"; that is, how readily hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules into the fluid that surrounds it. found on wikipedia

Increase in temp denatures the bond between oxygen and haemoglobin, leading to increased oxygen release from the haemoglobin molecules.

Name two ions that are the products of the dissociation of water?
Another way to describe the dissociation of water is as follows where two water molecules form a hydronium ion (essentially a water molecule with a proton attached) and a hydroxide ion
What is lumbar pelvis dissociation?
the ability to dissociate lumbar movement from pelvic movement.
What is a j-shaped curve called?
it is an exponential growth curve.
Why does an increase in temperature cause the oxygen dissociation curve to shift to the right?
when we excercising, tissue generates heat.those heat would increase the temperature of the neighboring cell, that exercise and need more energy. thus, more oxygen is needed, making the graph shift to the right because hemoglobin release oxygen faster to accord the increasing demand during exercise.
Which is the superior concave curve in the vertebral column?
The cervical lordotic curve.
What are the Causes of right shift of oxygen dissociation curve?
change in pH , temp. carbon dioxide 2,3 BPG shifts the curve
What is the relationship between metabolic demand and the factors that shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the right?
Paul Emerick...lol
Shift in oxygen-Hb dissociation curve to the right the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen?
As it shifts to the right, it means that haemoglobin has a lesser affinity for oxygen
The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve represents a negative feedback mechanism?
A negative feedback mechanism is a system to return a disruption in homeostasis back to homeostasis.A positive feedback mechanism is a system to reinforce or perpetuate a disruption in homeostasis.The oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve represents the Partial pressure in oxygen that will be saturated in the amount of hemoglobin.This curve represents a positive feedback because the binding of Oxygen to hemoglobin facilitates more binding of oxygen to hemoglobin (you can see this in the rapid rise in saturation from 10-40 mm Hg) until it reaches 60 mm Hg where it is somewhat completely saturated
Is the dissociation disorder healthy?
Dissociation is a dangerous mental disease.
Is Dissociation a process?
Dissociation is a process that occurs along a spectrum of severity
What is compound dissociation?
Dissociation is the decomposition of a substance in ions in a solution.Generally is a decomposition.
What are examples of dissociation?
Dissociation of sodium chloride in water solution: NaCl -----------Na+ + Cl-
What is percent dissociation?
The meaning is the percent of the original molecule dissociated during the process of dissociation.
Dissociation factor of C12H22O11?
The dissociation factor is 1, because the molecule can't break apart.
What is the dissociation constant k of pure water?
The dissociation constant of pure water is 1.9E-5.
What process produce solute ions in a solution?
The Correct Answer is: Ionization and Dissociation.
