Card 11 / 19:
Describe the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin.
The relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen and the binding of hemoglobin to oxygen is described by the oxygen–hemoglobin saturation/dissociation curve. As the partial pressure of oxygen increases, the number of oxygen molecules bound by hemoglobin increases, thereby increasing the saturation of hemoglobin.
