  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

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.
