|
Partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) |
Measure of oxygen concentration |
|
|
Haemoglobin |
-contains haem group which contains iron -high affinity for oxygen oxy |
|
|
Oxyhaemoglobin |
Oxygen joins to the iron in haemoglobin |
|
|
High partial pressure of oxygen |
Oxygen loads onto haemoglobin (high affinity for oxygen) |
|
|
Low partial pressure of oxygen |
Oxyhaemoglobin unloads it’s oxygen (low affinity for oxygen) |
|
|
Feral haemoglobin |
-to get enough oxygen to survive must have a higher affinity for oxygen |
|
|
Partial pressure of carbon dioxide |
Haemoglobin gives up its oxygen more readily at higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide |
