CASE STUDY QUESTIONS [ Marks:5X4 = 20]

Question No: 26
Case I: Read the following passage and answer the question

Fig: Oxygen dissociation curve

The binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is primarily related to the partial pressure of . The
partial pressure of , hydrogen ion concentration and temperature are the other factors which
can interfere with this binding. A sigmoid curve is obtained when the percentage saturation of
haemoglobin with is plotted against the . This curve is called the oxygen dissociation curve
and is highly useful in studying the effect of factors like concentration, etc., on the
binding of with haemoglobin. In the alveoli, where there is high , low , lesser
concentration and lower temperature, the factors are all favourable for the formation of
oxyhaemoglobin, whereas in the tissues, where low , high , high concentration and
higher temperature exist, the conditions are favourable for dissociation of oxygen from the
oxyhaemoglobin.
Which of the following oxygen haemoglobin - dissociation curve corresponds to blood during resting,
i.e., normal condition (curve ) and blood during exercise (curve Y)?
