TRUE
Increasing arterial blood temperature decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen.
Tissues receive more O2 when the pH is lowered
A decreased affinity for oxygen shifts the oxygen dissociation curve to the right.
Persons with thalassemia will have large amounts of hemoglobin F.
Myoglobin has a greater affinity for oxygen than hemoglobin.
The chloride shift and its reverse play an important role in the acid-base balance of the blood.
FALSE
The production of hemoglobin and red blood cells in bone marrow is controlled by a hormone called thymopoietin.
The formation of oxyhemoglobin from deoxyhemoglobin at the lungs is called an unloading reaction
Arterial percent oxygen saturation is greatly affected by exercise.
When tissues are producing more CO2 through increased metabolic activity, less O2 is provided to those tissues.
Myoglobin binds to more oxygen molecules than hemoglobin.
Inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in erythrocytes would cause a decrease in the pH of arterial blood.
