Summary Introduction

To review:

The given blank space in the statement, “COHb causes the oxygen dissociation curve to shift to the __________,” is to be filled-in.

Introduction:

The relation between the partial pressure of oxygen and oxygen saturation is depicted in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. The partial pressure of oxygen is represented on the x-axis and the oxygen saturation is shown on the y-axis. The P50 (partial pressure at which the hemoglobin remains 50% saturated with oxygen) value is taken as the reference point in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

Please refer to Clinical Application Case-1 for further infromation.

What kind of Oxygen-Dissociation curve do you expect when carbon monoxide attaches to hemoglobin molecules ? Why do we observe this change from a normal oxygen dissociation curve ?And why is this change hazardous ?   _____________________________________________________________   Rules : Spam answer is not appreciated Copied Anwers not allowed Don't Copy from Any Other Websites Explain the answer clearly Mention FIANL ANSWER too   All the Best :)
increases or decreases 1. atmospheric pressure during inspiration 2. pulmonary pressure during inspiration
