Breathing and Exchange of Gases

Which of the following factors are favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin in the alveoli?

  1. A.High pO2p\mathrm{O_2} and lesser H+\mathrm{H^+} concentration✓
  2. B.Low pCO2p\mathrm{CO_2} and high H+\mathrm{H^+} concentration
  3. C.Low pCO2p\mathrm{CO_2} and high temperature
  4. D.High pO2p\mathrm{O_2} and high pCO2p\mathrm{CO_2}

Solution

In the alveoli, high pO2p\mathrm{O_2}, low pCO2p\mathrm{CO_2}, lower H+\mathrm{H^+} concentration and lower temperature all favour binding of oxygen to haemoglobin.
