Chapter 3, Problem 2IA

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of hemoglobin bound to oxygen at all the three pH concentrations during saturation and at the different oxygen levels such as 20mm Hg, 40mm Hg, and 60mm Hg.

Introduction: Red blood cells are formed in the spleen and bone marrow. These cells have a life span of about 120 days. The color of red blood cells is red due to the presence of a protein called hemoglobin. This protein carries oxygen to all body parts.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of oxygen level in the blood on the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin.

Introduction: Oxygen is essential for different processes in the body. It is necessary for respiration, repairing body cells, feeding nerve cells, and cleansing body tissues.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine:  The significant difference between the saturation value of all the three pH values at a high oxygen level.

Introduction: The bloodstream absorbs the oxygen in the lungs in the human body, and from the lungs, transported to all the body tissues. Oxygen plays a vital role in the breathing processes and the metabolism processes of the living organisms.
