RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

Dr. NASIR HAYAT

• DeoxyHb --- More affinity for Hydrogen ions

• Venous blood --- 7.36

• Arterial blood --- 7.40
• Metabolic acidosis --- Inc H+ ions
• Metabolic alkalosis --- Dec H+ ions
• Respiratory acidosis --- Inc CO2
• Respiratory alkalosis --- Dec CO 2
 Hb also control NO levels

• NO produced in lungs --- taken up by oxyHb

and distributed to tissues

• In Peripheral tissue --- If there are increased

levels of NO, then NO can bind to Hb and is
catabolized
