Pregunta 15
Pregunta
Why is it possible to deliver more oxygen to vigorously working cells without increasing respiration rate or cardiac output?
Respuesta
-
it isn't a small decrese in p02 has very little effect on hemoglobin uploading
-
Because once one molecule of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin, the other molecules bind much more rapidly.
-
Because between a pO2 of zero and a pO2 of 40, hemoglobin saturation changes very rapidly and a greater degree of uploading will occur with even small changes in pO2.

Because carbon dioxide released from the vigorously working cells enhances oxygen binding to hemoglobin
