Question

2 points. Toxic conditions (elevated CO present):

Graph Interpretation - Approximately what percent of Hb is saturated with oxygen after exchange with the lungs?

Graph Interpretation - Approximately what percent of Hb is saturated with oxygen after exchange with the tissues?

Calculation - What is the difference of Hb % saturation before vs after exchange with the tissues? In other words, how much of the hemoglobin unloaded at least some oxygen (e.g. is no longer fully saturated) when it passed through the tissues?

Explanation / Answer

Hemoglobin is an iron oriented protein which function as oxygen carrier in the body.Carbon monoxide has more strong tendency to bind with hemoglobin the oxygen and this graph represent that carbon monoxide has 100% transfer rate with hemoglobin and oxygen has 80% transfer rate.
