Oxygen Dissociation Curve -

A sigmoid curve is obtained when percentage saturation of haemoglobin with O2 is plotted against the p_{O_{2}}. This curve is called the Oxygen dissociation curve and is highly useful in studying the effect of factors like p_{CO_{2}}, H+ concentration, etc., on binding of O2 with haemoglobin.

- wherein

Oxygen Dissociation Curve

 

 High concentration of Hwill reduce the pH, which will decrease the affinity of Hb with O_{2}  .
