What is the Bohr shift?
What is the Bohr shift?
The Bohr shift describes the relationship between hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen and factors like temperature, acidity, and carbon dioxide levels. It demonstrates how these factors can affect oxygen delivery to tissues.
What does a rightward shift in the Bohr curve signify?
What does a rightward shift in the Bohr curve signify?
A rightward shift in the Bohr curve indicates that hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen. This means it releases oxygen more readily to tissues.
What factors cause a rightward shift in the Bohr curve?
What factors cause a rightward shift in the Bohr curve?
Increased temperature, acidity, and carbon dioxide levels all contribute to a rightward shift in the Bohr curve. These conditions are often seen during exercise.
