Firstly, this makes no sense, if you're asking about how smoking affects the haemoglobin in the blood is affected by smoking, it cannot react and pick up oxygen as well as it should do, so it cannot transport it around the body in such large quantities that it would have been able to were the person not a smoker. There is less oxygen in the lungs for the haemoglobin to take, and the lungs are damaged. Also, the smoking builds fat up around the arteries making the blood pressure higher.

Is hemoglobin affected by pO2?

Yes, hemoglobin is affected by the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2). As pO2 increases, hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen also increases, facilitating oxygen binding in the lungs. Conversely, in tissues where pO2 is lower, hemoglobin releases oxygen more readily. This relationship is described by the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, which illustrates how hemoglobin's saturation with oxygen changes with varying pO2 levels.


Cigarette smoke produces carbon monoxide If a non smoker smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for a few weeks what would happen to his reticulocyte count?

Why the hemoglobin is increased in smoker patients?

In anyone who is chronically hypoxic, as can occur to smokers, the body will respond by increasing the production of red blood cells in order to have the ability to carry more oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin is one of the components of red blood cells, so when the number of red blood cells increases so does the hemoglobin.


How does a stovestop smoker work?

A stovestop smoker works by sealing all the gases in the cooking device and by preventing the heat from escaping from it. This increases the temperature and speed of cooking.

Why is hemoglobin good?

It increases the bloods affinity to oxygen and buffers carbonic acid in the blood.

How does hemoglobin cooperativity affect the binding of oxygen molecules in the bloodstream?

Hemoglobin cooperativity is a process where the binding of one oxygen molecule to a hemoglobin molecule makes it easier for other oxygen molecules to bind. This means that as more oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin, the affinity for oxygen increases, allowing hemoglobin to efficiently transport oxygen in the bloodstream.


What is the relationship between pH and hemoglobin saturation?

The relationship between pH and hemoglobin saturation is known as the Bohr effect. When pH levels decrease (become more acidic), hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen decreases, leading to lower hemoglobin saturation. Conversely, when pH levels increase (become more basic), hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases, resulting in higher hemoglobin saturation.
