Breathing and Exchange of Gases

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

A.High $p O_{2}$ and lesser $H^{+}$ concentration✓
B.Low $p C O_{2}$ and high $H^{+}$ concentration
C.Low $p C O_{2}$ and high temperature
D.High $p O_{2}$ and high $p C O_{2}$

Solution

In the alveoli, high $p O_{2}$ , low $p C O_{2}$ , lower $H^{+}$ concentration and lower temperature all favour binding of oxygen to haemoglobin.
