State the physical and chemical forms of oxygen transported by the blood and specify the relative proportion of
each form.
2. Define oxygen content, hemoglobin saturation and the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.
3. State the physiological consequences of the shape of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve on loading of
oxygen at the lungs and unloading of oxygen at the tissues.
4. Identify the factors that shift the position of the oxyhemoglobin curve to the right & explain the result of such a
rightward shift on P50 , the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and tissue oxygenation.
5. Specify the effect of carbon monoxide on the oxygen content and oxygen carrying capacity of blood.
6. Identify the colour of hemoglobin in the following forms: 1) oxyhemoglobin, 2) deoxyhemoglobin 3)
caboxyhemoglobin.
7. State the physical and chemical forms of carbon dioxide transported by the blood and specify the relative
proportion of each form.
8. State the role of carbonic anhydrase in the transport of carbon dioxide.
9. Describe the carbon dioxide dissociation curve for whole blood and explain how the conformational changes in
hemoglobin (Hb) associated with binding with oxygen molecules affects transport of carbon dioxide by the blood
