To discuss:
The four key mechanisms that are involved to adjust the amount of unloaded O2 by hemoglobin based on the needs of individual tissues.
Introduction:
The hemoglobin is a complex protein and transports gases such as oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to and from all tissues. The bound O2 to hemoglobin (Hb) is termed as oxyhemoglobin. Unloading of O2 is referred to as the removal of O2 from the oxyhemoglobin (HbO2). The amount of O2 unloading varies in several tissues. In the
