    Dissociation curve shifts to the right when

    A)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration decreases

    B)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]concentration increases

    C)  \[{{O}_{2}}\]concentration decreases

    D)  \[\text{C}{{\text{l}}^{-}}\] concentration increases

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The percentage of haemoglobin that is bound with \[{{C}_{2}}\]is called percent saturation of haemoglobin. It depends upon the partial pressure of oxygen (\[{{\text{P}}_{\text{02}}}\]) in blood. The relationship between (\[{{\text{P}}_{\text{02}}}\]) and percentage saturation of haemoglobin with \[{{O}_{2}}\] is graphically illustrated by a curve called oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curve. Changes in body temperature and blood pH as well as, in the concentrations of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]in blood and of 2, 3-diphosphnglvcerate in red blood corpuscles affect the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin resulting into a shifting of the \[{{O}_{2}}\]haemoglobin dissociation curve. When partial pressure of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]rises (blood pH decreases     dissociation     curve     of oxyhaemoglobin at \[37{}^\circ C\] shift to right.
