Does pH dictate how readily oxygen is released from hemoglobin? -Low pH will increase CO2 which is an inc O2 intake. -CO2 conc dec, causing an inc in pH. Inc in pH, inc hemoglobin's affinity for O2 through Bohr effect, causing hemoglobin to pickup O2 entering blood from lungs so it can transport it to your tissues.
What is tracheal obstruction and is it life threatening? also called an airway obstruction which is a blockage in any part of the airway which can partially or totally prevent air from getting into the lungs. It can be life threatening depending on the degree of the obstruction because it disrupts air exchange
