Multiple Choice
Which of these is demonstrated by the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve?
A) The greater the PO2 of the blood, the greater the dissociation of O2 from hemoglobin.
B) At normal resting systemic arterial PO2 , hemoglobin is almost 100% saturated with oxygen.
C) At normal resting systemic venous PO2 , only about 75% of the hemoglobin is in the form of deoxyhemoglobin.
D) More additional oxygen binds to hemoglobin when going from a PO2 of 60 to 100 mmHg, than is added when going from a PO2 of 40 to 60 mmHg.
E) As PO2 increases, the saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen increases linearly.
