| Description | Slide shows chart of 'the disassociation curve for human blood'.
The chart is a square grid with figures 0 to 100 on both axis, and are explained in label below slide, which reads as follows: 'Fig 14 - the disassociation curve for human blood. The thickness of the curve indicates the limits within which the curve may fall for normal persons. The figures along the abscissa indicate the pressure of oxygen in milimetres of mercury; those along the ordinate indicate the percentage saturation of the haemoglobin with oxygen. (From Howell, after Barcroft).'
The Oxyhemoglobin Disassociation Curve describes how oxygen interacts with haemoglobin. |
