Factors Affecting the Release of Oxygen from Hemoglobin Can Be

Question

Factors affecting the release of oxygen from hemoglobin can be visualized by using a
A) spirograph.
B) pulmonary volume chart.
C) respiratory cycle chart.
D) oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve.
E) blood gas analysis.

Accepted Answer

The oxygen-hemoglobin saturation curve visualizes the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and the percent saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen. It provides information on factors such as pH, temperature, and carbon dioxide concentration, which can affect the release of oxygen from hemoglobin. Spirograph, pulmonary volume chart, respiratory cycle chart, and blood gas analysis do not directly visualize the factors affecting the release of oxygen from hemoglobin.
