Compared to normal levels, a shift in the HbO2 curve to the right has which of the following ef-fects?

  2. The Hb saturation for a given PO2 falls.
  3. The Hb saturation for a given PO2 rises.
  a. 1 only
  b. 1 and 2 only
  c. 2 and 3 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Question 2

What is the effect of an elevated intracellular 2,3-DPG concentration?
 
  a. Decreases the availability of O2 to the tis-sues.
  b. Increases the affinity of Hb for O2.
  c. Increases the availability of O2 to the tis-sues.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
As blood pH drops and the curve shifts to the right, the Hb saturation for a given PO2 falls de-creased Hb affinity for O2.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Increased 2,3-DPG concentrations shift the HbO2 curve to the right, promoting O2 unloading.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
