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.

What happens to an oxygen gas when it reaches an alveolus?

It defuses throught the respiratory membrane and binds to hemoglobin (in humans) following a hemoglobin type-specific binding affinity curve (depending on the Po2 of the local atmosphere.)


The phenomenon involving the greater combination fo CO2 with hemoglobin at a lower PO2 and at a lower degree of hemoglobin saturation with O2 is called the?

Bohr effect. Incorrect. It is not the Bohr effect...it is actually the "Haldane effect"=The lower the PO2 and the lower the extent of hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (O2), the more CO2 can be carried in the blood. This phenomenon is called the Haldane effect. As per the Human Anatomy and Physiology eighth edition text book published 2010.


What are the factors that affect hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?

The primary factor that determines how much oxygen is actually bound to hemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the hemoglobin solution.


How do you find the dissolved O2 content give plasma PO2 and Hb content?

PO2 can be estimate of dissolve O2,PO2 keep the oxygen on hemoglobin so if there is increase affinity of oxygen then required PO2 willbe low.each HB carry 20vol% O2 per 100ml of blood in a 100% saturation.if the dissolve oxygen become less then PO2 also become less in order to deliver more dissolve form to tissues.actua;;u ddissolve O2 at 100mmhg of PO2 is 0.3vol%/100ml of blood


What is the difference between PO2 and Sp02?

PO2 refers to the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood, typically measured via arterial blood gas analysis. SpO2, on the other hand, represents the oxygen saturation level in the blood, measured non-invasively through pulse oximetry. In simpler terms, PO2 shows how much oxygen is dissolved in the blood, while SpO2 indicates the percentage of hemoglobin carrying oxygen.


What is the name for PO2?

PO2(OH)2 is the same as H2PO4^- (note the negative charge). It would be dihydrogen phosphate.


Which blood vessel has a Po2 of 104 mm Hg?

Rather than a blood vessel with a value of 104mm Hg for Po2, it is alveolar gas thatt has a Po2 of 104 mm Hg


What is O2-Hb dissociation curve?

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


What is PO2 in blood?

PO2 in blood is the amount of gases in your blood. In medical terms, this is commonly called the Alveolar-arterial.


The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?

In pulmonary arteries, PO2 is around 40 mmHg and PCO2 is around 46 mmHg. In pulmonary veins, PO2 is around 100 mmHg and PCO2 is around 40 mmHg. In systemic arteries, PO2 is around 100 mmHg and PCO2 is around 40 mmHg. In systemic veins, PO2 is around 40 mmHg and PCO2 is around 46 mmHg.
