Which residue in HbA β do you think contributes the most to the increased interaction between HbA aand 2,3‑BPG?Measurements of oxygen binding by whok human blood, at 37 °C, at pH 7.4, and in the presence of 40 mm Hg of CO, and normal physiological lkvels of 2,3-BPG (5 mmol/L of cells), give the following: Po, (mm Hg) % Saturation (=100 x Yo) 10.6 10 19.5 30 27.4 50 37.5 70 50.4 85 77.3 96 92.3 98 (a) From these data, construct a binding curve, and estimate the percent oxygen saturation of blood at (1) 100 mm Hg, the approximate partial pressure of O, in the lungs, and (2) 30 mm Hg, the approximate partial pressure of Oz in venous blood. (b) Under these conditions, what percentage of the oxygen bound in the lungs is delivered to the tissues? (c) Using the data in Figure 7.27, repeat the calculation of part (b) if the pH drops to 6.8 in capillaries but goes back to 7.4 as CO, is unloaded in the lungs.

What simple measure can be used to correct the pH imbalance and how does it work? What effect would hyperventilation have on hemoglobin O2 saturation in a normal healthy individual? What effect would a PaO2 of 60 mmHg have on hemoglobin O2 saturation and why? (explain in terms of the O2-Hb dissociation curve)Using the information below, calculate the Oxygen Diffusion Driving Force (mmHg), which is the pressure gradient that drives O₂ out of the alveoli and into the blood (calculated as PAO₂- PVO₂): Barometric Pressure at Salt Lake City, UT= 4,226 ft.

- Messner and Habeler's 1978 ascent of Mount Everest without oxygen-breathing apparatus is often described as one of the most remarkable physical accomplishments achieved by humans. Table 1 shows respiratory gas and arterial pH values measured in a resting mountaineer at sea level, Everest base camp and Everest summit. Use the differences in these values to explain how breathing regulation changes when at rest at the 3 altitudes indicated. Calculations are not required but you may wish to consider the role of central and peripheral chemoreceptors and their relationship to paCO,, minute ventilation and alveolar pO, in your response.

Let’s assume in the alveoli it drops to 100 mmHg when a person breaths 12x per minute. At the end of a 1-mile sprint a person is breathing 60x per minute, but, due to the decrease in the amount of time each breath spends in the lungs, the oxygen partial pressure is only drops to 140 mmHg before exhalation. a. How much has the amount of oxygen diffused through the alveoli increased or decreased? (Answer part a )Below are multiple oxygen binding affinity curves for hemoglobin.
