Effect of fetal hemoglobin on O2 dissociation curve
High-Yield Explanation
Oxygen dissociation curve is the graphic expression of the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen as a function of the paial pressure of oxygen. Dissociation is influenced by pH, temperature, and carbon dioxide pressure. Formerly called oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.Ref: Ganong&;s review of medical physiology,3red edition, page no:610
