7 * Fig. 7.1 shows the oxygen dissociation curves for a solution of oxyhaemoglobin, Curve
P, and for mammalian whole blood, Curve Q.
R and S represent the oxygen tension (partial pressure) in the lungs and tissues
respectively.

20 The graph below shows oxygen dissociation curves for haemoglobin in pigeon blood.
Increased temperature and decreased pH increase the release of oxygen from
* oxyhemoglobin.
