Resumen del Recurso

Haemoglobin
  1. The dissocciation curve
    1. Relates oxygen saturation (sO2) to Partial pressure (pO2)
      1. Affinity
        1. How readily oxygen can attach to haemoglobin
      2. Bohr shift
        1. Shifts right
          1. due to increase in
            1. CO2 concentration
              1. All of which cause the haemoglobin to bind to oxygen with lower affinity
              2. Temperature
                1. Hydrogen ion (acidity)
              3. CO2 + Lactic acid build up occurs with the use of muscles
                1. Lowering the affinity is the body's way of dealing with problem quickly and transporting more oxygen to the cells
                2. Releases the oxygen
                3. foetal haemoglobin
                  1. HbF = Foetal haemoglobin
                    1. HbA= Adult haemoglobin
                      1. Structurally different to HbA
                        1. gives it a higher affinity than HbA
                        2. dissociation curve if shifted to the left
                          1. foetal arterial pressures are lower than the adult arterial oxygen pressures
                            1. Higher affinity allows it to bind to oxygen at lower partial pressure
                              1. Allowing the diffusion of oxygen across the placenta
                          2. Sickle cell anaemia
                            1. If HbA is replaced with HbF it could counteract the problem
                              1. Cells are sickle shaped and due to this structural difference has a lower affinity for oxygen
                              2. Holds on to more oxygen
