Question

The relationship between hemoglobin ____________ and po₂ is shown by an oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

Answer 1

The answer is saturation

Answer 2

Answer:

Saturation

Explanation:

Blood oxygen saturation is usually used to detect respiratory insufficiency, this saturation increases according to a hemoglobin dissociation curve.

The curve analysis shows that hemoglobin saturation is linked to partial oxygen pressure (pO₂). The higher the pO₂, the higher the oxygen saturation in the blood. The average saturation in a healthy human being is between 95% and 99%.
