Bohr effect
Bohr effect
Reduced affinity when concentration increases
Effect of high on haemoglobin affinity
Effect of high on haemoglobin affinity
Reduces affinity, promotes release
dissociation curve shift with low
dissociation curve shift with low
Shifts left (increased affinity)
dissociation curve shift with high
dissociation curve shift with high
Shifts right (decreased affinity)
How affects haemoglobin shape
How affects haemoglobin shape
forms acid, lowers pH, changes haemoglobin shape

Haemoglobin saturation in lungs (%)
97%
Haemoglobin saturation returning to lungs (%)
Haemoglobin saturation returning to lungs (%)
75%
