New cards
pO2 mmHg
partial pressure of oxygen
2
New cards
Hgb SO2%
hemoglobin oxygen saturation percent
3
New cards
Where the A curve takes place
lungs
4
New cards
What the B curve represents
normal oxygen saturation
5
New cards
Where the C curve occurs
tissues
6
New cards
pO2 mmHg and Hgb SO2% relationship
proportional (one increases, the other increases)
7
New cards
Why does Hgb load up on O2 in the lungs?
Low acid environment which allows Hgb to load up on O2 in lower air pressure
8
New cards
Why does Hgb give up O2 in tissues?
high acid environment, high temperature
9
New cards
Muscle relationship with oxygen saturation
Muscles use O2, give up CO2, lowering pH levels
