Question 14
Question
_______________ is produced by the ___________ in response to low blood oxygen levels
Question 15
Question
Why is it possible to deliver more oxygen to vigorously working cells without increasing respiration rate or cardiac output?
Answer
-
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

CO2 diffuses much more rapidly out of the cells.
-
CO2 binds to O2 and moves across the respiratory membrane simultaneously.
-
CO2 is more soluble in water than is O2
-
CO2 is actively transported into the alveoli.
