Bohr Effect
Bohr Effect
The Bohr effect describes how the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right in the presence of increased carbon dioxide (CO2) and acidity. This shift makes it easier for hemoglobin to release oxygen to the tissues.
Oxygen-Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve
Oxygen-Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve
The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve (O2-Hb curve) shows the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in the blood and the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen.
Bohr Effect During Exercise
Bohr Effect During Exercise
During exercise, the body produces more carbon dioxide (CO2) and becomes more acidic. This leads to a rightward shift in the O2-Hb curve, making it easier for hemoglobin to release oxygen to the working muscles.
