A shift of the oxygen dissociation curve of blood to the right

Question 1

A. Occurs in the pulmonary capillaries.

B. Occurs if blood temperature rises.

C. Favours oxygen delivery to the tissues.

D. Favours oxygen uptake from the lungs by alveolar capillary blood.

E. Increases the P50 (the PO2 value giving 50 per cent blood oxygen saturation).

Question 2

A. False It occurs in the systemic capillaries.

B. True This occurs when tissue metabolic activity increases.

C. True More oxygen is released at any given PO2.

D. False Less oxygen is taken up at any given PO2.

E. True For example, a rise in temperature raises the P50.
