When blood flows into the systemic capillaries,the P_O2 of the erythrocytes is greater than the P_O2 of the plasma,causing a shift from oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The partial pressure of oxygen (P_O2) in erythrocytes is greater than the partial pressure of oxygen in plasma, causing oxygen to dissociate from hemoglobin and enter surrounding tissues. This shifts the hemoglobin from oxyhemoglobin to deoxyhemoglobin.
