What is the average oxygen carrying capacity for normal hemoglobin?
Ahmadbtm
This is the theoretical maximum volume of oxygen capable of binding to one gm of hemoglobin (Hb) multiplied by the % saturation of the hemoglobin. Practically, if one knows the amount of Hb per volume of blood then one can determine the volume of O2 carried by blood solely by Hb. Let us assume the following values:
[Hb] = 15gm/100mL
O2 bound per gm of Hb = 1.39 mL
and O2 saturation = 97.5%...
Then
O2 carrying capacity of 100 mL blood due to Hb = 15 x 1.39 x 0.975
= 20.33 mL O2/100mL

What is oxygen carrying capacity in humans?
oxygen carrying capacity is 1.34 ml of oxygen per gram of hemoglobin.... taking normal amount of Hb in humans as 15g/ dL , then oxygen carrying capacity for 100 ml of bood will be = 1.34*15 = 20 ml of oxygen approximately.
What is thalesemia?
An inherited disorder that interferes with the normal production of hemoglobin
Is it normal for a male to have 15.6 hemoglobin?
This is completely normal. The average Hemoglobin in women is 14-16. In men the average is 14-18.
What happens when the blood has less than it normal oxygen carrying capacity?
Brain failure
What is MCH and MCHC?
MCH stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin, which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. MCHC stands for mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, which measures the concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. Both are important parameters used in the analysis of red blood cells in a complete blood count (CBC) test.
What is a the normal hemoglobin level for a baby?
For an infant, normal hemoglobin is 14-22 g/dL
What are hemoglobinopathies?
There are two categories of hemoglobinopathy. In the first category, abnormal globin chains give rise to abnormal hemoglobin molecules. In the second category, normal hemoglobin chains are produced but in abnormal amounts.
What is the difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin?
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
What are normal hemoglobin levels or amounts of iron for neonates?
Normal levels of hemoglobin for neonates are 17 - 22 g/dl.
What are normal hemoglobin levels or amounts of iron for adult females?
Normal levels of hemoglobin for adult females past menopause are 11.7 - 13.8 g/dl.
What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
sickle trait hemoglobin
Is 15.2 hemoglobin normal?
