Question
The oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve will show a right shift in case of ______.
Options
High pCO2
High pO2
Low pCO2
Less H+ concentration
Solution
The oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve will show a right shift in case of High pCO2.
Explanation:
The curve shift is right in the following conditions:
(1) Decrease in pO2
(2) Increase in pCO2 (Bohr effect)
(3) Increase in body temperature
(4) Increase in H+ ion concentration
(5) Decrease in pH
(6) Increase in 2, 3 diphosphoglycerates.
