Frage 21

Frage
Why does foetal haemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than adult haemoglobin?
Antworten
  • Foetal blood has lower CO2 levels thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve
  • Foetal blood is less acidic thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve
  • Foetal haemoglobin interacts less with 2,3-diphosphoglycerate thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve
  • Foetal blood is a lower temperature than adult blood thus leading to a left shift in the oxygen dissociation curve

Frage
Which hormone prevents the degeneration of the corpus luteum?

  • It has a direct effect on the testes of the male foetus, aiding the development of the male sex organs
  • It is directly involved in the development of the breasts during pregnancy
  • It prevents degradation of the corpus luteum by promoting progesterone secretion
