GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The affinity that hemoglobin has for oxygen is decreased when the pH of the solution is decreased. When the solution is at a lower pH, hemoglobin tends to release more oxygen because it doesn’t have as much affinity to keep the oxygen bonded to the heme group.

Detailed explanation-2: -Levels of Oxygen in a Tissue A lower pH in the blood is suggestive of an increased carbon dioxide concentration which in turn, is suggestive of a more active tissue that requires more oxygen. According to Bohr, the lower pH will cause hemoglobin to deliver more oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -[4] Therefore, the clinical consequences of decreasing blood pH are drowsiness, stupor, coma, and death in coma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is formed during physiological respiration when oxygen binds to the heme component of the protein hemoglobin in red blood cells. This process occurs in the pulmonary capillaries adjacent to the alveoli of the lungs.
