III. carbamate forms
IV. hemoglobin is stabilized in the T state

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In active muscle, pCO2 is high due to increased metabolism, carbamate forms as a result of CO2 binding to hemoglobin, and hemoglobin is stabilized in the T state (taut state) due to the release of oxygen to meet the metabolic demands of the muscle. Acidity is actually high, not low, in active muscle due to the production of lactic acid and increased CO2, which forms carbonic acid.

At Active Muscle I. PCO2 Is High
