Why does fetal haemoglobin pick up oxygen at the placenta at partial pressure which causes maternal haemoglobin to release oxygen?
Fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen compared to maternal hemoglobin. This means that at the lower oxygen partial pressures found in the placenta, fetal hemoglobin will bind more oxygen, causing maternal hemoglobin to release its oxygen. This mechanism ensures efficient transfer of oxygen from the mother to the fetus.
When a human embryo is developing the embryo produces a special type of hemoglobin not found in infant child or adult blood. Why does an embryo produce a different type of hemoglobin from an infant ch?
An embryo produces a specific type of hemoglobin called fetal hemoglobin (HbF) that has a higher affinity for oxygen than the adult hemoglobin. This allows the developing embryo to efficiently obtain oxygen from the maternal blood supply through the placenta. Once born, the infant starts producing adult hemoglobin to adapt to breathing air in the postnatal environment.
Why is fetal hemoglobin unsuitable to use after birth?
Fetal haemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen, so is less able to dissociate than maternal haemoglobin within body tissues and cells.
Why is it advantage that fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen than maternal hemoglobin?
adult Hb ha 2-alpha+2delta structure while fetal has 2-alpha+2-gamma. and this renders it more interactive towards oxygen, hence fetal hb has more affinity for oxygen as compared to adult hemoglobin.
