Of the following, which does not explain why the partial pressure of oxygen is lower in the lung than in the external air? Air in the lung is humidified; therefore, water vapor pressure alters the pressure Carbon dioxide mixes with oxygen Oxygen is moved into the blood and is headed to the tissues Lungs exert a pressure on the air to reduce the oxygen pressure.

A developing fetus gets oxygen from its mothers blood. Fetal capillaries run through pools of maternal blood in an organ called the placenta. As fetal blood runs through these capillaries, it exchanges substances with the maternal blood around the capillary. The hemoglobin made by a fetus is different than that made after birth. Fetal hemoglobin binds oxygen more strongly at low oxygen levels than normal hemoglobin. How would fetal hemoglobins somewhat higher affinity for oxygen benefit the fetus?
Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding a rightward shift in the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve? A) Affinity for oxygen is increased. B) Oxygen loading onto the hemoglobin is increased. C) Hemoglobin is more saturated at a given PO2. D) It can be caused by a decrease in temperature. E) It can be caused by a decrease in blood pH.

When a person develops a fever, which of the following statements hemoglobin saturation are correct? - Modify the structure of hemoglobin and decrease its affernity for O2 - Can shift the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to the right - Decrease O2 unloading occurs in the tissue - Modify the structure of hemoglobin and increase its affernity for O2 - Can shift the O2 hemoglobin dissociation curve to the left - Enhance O2 unloading occurs in the tissue
Referring to the loading and unloading of oxygen from hemoglobin (as illustrated in the figure), which of the following statements is correct? Oxygen Dissociation Curve.png Group of answer choices When a person in ventilating at rest, 75% of hemoglobin is still oxyhemoglobin The percent saturation of hemoglobin is higher at higher partial pressures of oxygen A decrease in the pH of the blood would promote unloading oxygen from the hemoglobin All of these are correct
