Study Notes
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Transport
- The lungs and tissues have a relationship where they exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules.
- The lungs send oxygen to the tissues, while the tissues send carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
- There are two ways oxygen is transported in the blood: dissolved oxygen and oxygen bound to hemoglobin (HbO2 or oxyhemoglobin).
- The majority of oxygen is transported as oxyhemoglobin.
- Carbon dioxide is transported back to the lungs as dissolved carbon dioxide and bicarbonate (protonated hemoglobin).
The Bohr Effect and Haldane Effect
- The Bohr effect is the effect of carbon dioxide and protons on the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen.
- The Haldane effect is the effect of oxygen on the affinity of hemoglobin for carbon dioxide and protons.
- Both effects are important for increasing oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide delivery between the lungs and tissues.
Oxygen Delivery
- Oxygen delivery is the amount of oxygen delivered from the lungs to the tissues.
- The Bohr effect increases oxygen delivery by making it harder for oxygen to bind to hemoglobin in the presence of carbon dioxide and protons.
- This allows for more oxygen to be delivered to the tissues.
Carbon Dioxide Delivery
- Carbon dioxide delivery is the amount of carbon dioxide delivered from the tissues to the lungs.
- The Haldane effect increases carbon dioxide delivery by making it harder for carbon dioxide to bind to hemoglobin in the presence of oxygen.
- This allows for more carbon dioxide to be delivered to the lungs.
Competition for Hemoglobin
- There is a competition between oxygen and carbon dioxide for binding to hemoglobin.
- The Bohr effect and Haldane effect are two separate effects that occur due to this competition.
- The Bohr effect is the effect of carbon dioxide and protons on oxygen binding, while the Haldane effect is the effect of oxygen on carbon dioxide and proton binding.
