Question
Answer
Dissolved oxygen accounts for ___ml O2/100ml of blood   .3ml  
🗑
Dissolved oxygen supplies how many ml per minute of O2   90ml  
🗑
Hemoglobin accounts for ___ml O2/100ml of blood   20.8ml  
🗑
The majority of O2 is found   Bound to hemoglobin  
🗑
Hemoglobin increases the amount of O2 in the blood for the same   Po2  
🗑
Po2 in plasma is   100  
🗑
Function of hemoglobin   To increase the 02 in the blood at the same Po2  
🗑
Explain why the plateu on the O2 dissociation curve is useful in the lungs   If the alveolar Po2 were to drop from 100 to 60, the saturation of hemoglobin would remain the same. This is good for storage of O2 in hemoglobin in the lungs  
🗑
Explain why the "steep region" on the O2 dissociation curve is useful in peripheral tissues   The Hb saturation drops dramatically for low Po2 values (such as in tissues) and the Hb releases the O2 to the tissue  
🗑
The Hb saturation curve is a measure of   Percent of Hb saturation, does not include dissolved oxygen or Hb levels  
🗑
The blood O2 content curve is a measure of   Total O2, both bound to Hb and dissolved  
🗑
In an anemic patient (decreased Hb) the Hb saturation curve would appear   Normal because the Hb is still saturated but there is just less Hb (so the percentage remains the same)  
🗑
In an anemic patient (decreased Hb) the total O2 content curve would appear   Vastly reduced  
🗑
In carbon monoxide poisoning, the Hb saturation curve will appear   Normal because CO binds readily to Hb, keeping the saturation percentage high  
🗑
In carbon monoxide poisoning, the Oxyhemogblobin level is   Extremely low because CO outcompetes O2 for Hb spots  
🗑
In CO poisoning, Po2 levels will appear   Normal  
🗑
A right shift in the HbO2 dissociation curve is know as the ___ effect   Bohr  
🗑
A right shift in the HbO2 dissociation curve is a result of   Lower Hb saturation for a given Po2, meaning Hb will give up oxygen more readily  
🗑
A left shift in the HbO2 dissociation curve is a result of   Higher Hb saturation for a given Po2, meaning Hb will hold on to oxygen more readily  
🗑
A left shift in the HbO2 dissociation curve is useful in what environment?   High altitude (because you have a lover Po2)  
🗑
A right shift in the HbO2 dissociation curve is useful in what circumstance?   Exercise because you want to be able to readily supply tissues with oxygen  
🗑
A left shift in the HbO2 dissociation curve can be caused by   Decreased H+, Decreased PCO2 and decreased red cell metabolism products  
🗑
What is P50   Pressure of O2 when 50% of the Hb is saturated  
🗑
Normal P50 value   27 mmHg  
🗑
P50 for a patient at high altitude would be   Lower than 27 mmHg  
🗑
P50 for a patient exercising would be   Greater than 27 mmHg  
🗑
P50 for a patient with Carbon Monoxide poisoning would be   Less than 27 mmHg  
🗑
Why is the O2 dissociation cure slightly right-shifted in venous blood?   Because venous blood contains more CO2 and is more acidic than arterial blood, leaving less room for O2 saturation  
🗑
What is the O2 saturation percent in arterial blood   97.5%  
🗑
What is the O2 saturation percent in venous blood   75% (due to increased CO2)  
🗑
What is the P02 in arterial blood   100 mmHg  
🗑
What is the PO2 in venous blood   40 mmHg  
🗑
Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three forms. They are   Bicarb (60%), Dissolved (10%) and Carbamino (30%- Co2+Hb)  
🗑
The HbCO dissociation curve has a __ saturation at a lower PO2   Higher  
🗑
Carboxyhemoglobin does what to the PO2   Nothing  
🗑
Carboxyhemoglobin has what effect on Hb saturation   None  
🗑
Carboxyhemoglobin has what effect on O2 content   Dramatically decreased  
🗑
Why are red blood cells the main facilitator of CO2 transport? (2 reasons)   RBC contain the enzyme carbonic anyhydrase that converts CO2 into bicarb for CO2 transport. In addition, RBC contain hemoglobin which is the main carbamino compound in the blood (for CO2 transport)  
🗑
How does the CO2 dissociation curve compare to the O2 dissociation curve?   The CO2 dissociation curve is more linear and steeper (no plateau)  
🗑
Explain the significance of the CO2 dissociation curve being more linear   This means that a very small change in PCO2 can result in large changes in the CO2 content in the blood. This small difference can unload a large amount of CO2 in the lungs  
🗑
What does the Haldane effect do in the lungs and periphery to O2 and Co2   As blood unloads 02 in the periphery, it can take up lots of CO2. Conversely, in the lungs, oxygenation of the blood helps to unload the CO2 from the blood.  
🗑
Oxygenation in the lungs does what to CO2   Unloads  
🗑
Deoxygenation in the tissues does what to CO2   Loads  
🗑
Explain the Haldane effect   Deoxygenated Hb binds to CO2 to form carbamino compounds that "mop up" H+ ions produced in the conversion of CO2 to bicarb. This in turn facilitates the production of more bicarb. This facilitates more CO2 transport when O2 levels are low.  
🗑
Equation to determine blood pH from bicarb and CO2 concentrations   pH= 6.1+ log [HCO3-]/[CO2]  
🗑
Normal bicarb level in blood with pH level 7.4   24 mEq/L  
🗑
Normal CO2 level in blood with pH level 7.4   1.2 mmol/L  
🗑
Blood pH will be equal to 7.4 as long as the [HCO3-]:[CO2] is equal to   20  
🗑
Respiratory acidosis   Low pH, High PCO2  
🗑
Respiratory alkalosis   High pH, Low PCO2  
🗑
Metabolic acidosis   Low pH, Low Bicarb  
🗑
Metabolic alkalosis   High pH, high Bicarb  
🗑
Respiratory acidosis and alkalosis cause ___ compensation   Renal, Kidneys produce bicarb  
🗑
Compensation for Metabolic alkalosis is   Hypoventilation  
🗑
A full compensation for metabolic alkalosis would cause   Hypoxia  
🗑
Compensation for metabolic acidosis is   Hyperventilation  
🗑
Do you get a full compensation for metabolic alkalosis?   No  
🗑
Why does hyperventilation reduce arterial PCO2 but not help with the O2 content in the blood   Because O2 saturation is already at 100% but changes in CO2 produce more significant effects (think O2 dissociation curve v CO2 dissociation curve)  
🗑
Treatment for CO poisoning   Hyperbaric chamber to increase amount of dissolved O2 and to force CO off of Hb by increasing the competition with increase 02  
🗑
How does carboxyhemoglobin affect the oxygen dissociation curve?   Shifts it to the left, higher saturation rate at lower PO2 levels causing the Hb to hold on to O2 more readily (BAD!)  
🗑
Normal Arterial O2 value   21.1 ml O2/100 ml of blood  
🗑
