Reduction in pH of blood will:
reduce the rate of heart beat.
reduce the blood supply to the brain.
decrease the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen.
release bicarbonate ions by the liver.
Oxygen Dissociation Curve -
A sigmoid curve is obtained when percentage saturation of haemoglobin with O2 is plotted against the . This curve is called the Oxygen dissociation curve and is highly useful in studying the effect of factors like
, H+ concentration, etc., on binding of O2 with haemoglobin.
- wherein
High concentration of H+ will reduce the pH, which will decrease the affinity of Hb with .
