Chapter 5, Problem 3P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects of a drop in the pH of blood plasma from 7.4 to 7.2.

Introduction:

Hemoglobin is the blood protein that carries the oxygen molecule. It is composed of four heme groups which surround the globin group. Heme groups possess iron and provides a red color to the blood cells. Hemoglobin is present in the tetrameric form that consist 2 dimers (α,ß dimers) that binds to the oxygen molecule. The affinity of oxygen to bind with hemoglobin is isolated from the red blood cells that displays a sigmoidal curve.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effects of a decrease in the partial pressure of CO2 in the lungs from 6 kPa to 2 kPa.

Introduction:

Hemoglobin is the blood protein that carries the oxygen molecule. It is composed of four heme groups which surround the globin group. Heme groups possess iron and provides a red color to the blood cells. Hemoglobin is present in the tetrameric form that consist 2 dimers (α,ß-dimers) that binds to the oxygen molecule. The affinity of oxygen to bind with hemoglobin is isolated from the red blood cells that displays a sigmoidal curve.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of an increase in the BPG level, from 5 mm to 8 mm.

Introduction:

Hemoglobin is the blood protein that carries the oxygen molecule. It is composed of four heme groups which surround the globin group. Heme groups possess iron and provides a red color to the blood cells. Hemoglobin is present in the tetrameric form that consist 2 dimers (α,ß dimers) that binds to the oxygen molecule. The affinity of oxygen to bind with hemoglobin is isolated from the red blood cells that displays a sigmoidal curve.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of an increase in the CO from 1.0 parts per million (ppm) in a normal indoor atmosphere to 30 ppm in a home that has a malfunctioning or leaking furnace.
