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?

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?

Increased temperature, acidity, and carbon dioxide levels all contribute to a rightward shift in the Bohr curve. These conditions are often seen during exercise.

How does the Bohr shift contribute to the delivery of oxygen during exercise?

During exercise, the body increases its demand for oxygen. This demand is met by a combination of increased heart rate and a rightward shift in the Bohr curve, ensuring sufficient oxygen delivery to the working muscles.

Why is the Bohr shift important?

The Bohr shift plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen to actively working tissues during exercise by facilitating the release of oxygen from hemoglobin.
