The MOST important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is A)red blood count B)volume of the blood C)P_O2 D)heart rate E)P_CO2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of oxygen and hemoglobin binding and releasing is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood, and is described by the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. This sequence determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. Choice C represents the correct sequence of oxygen and hemoglobin binding and releasing, which is essential for oxygen transport in the body.
