Respiratory Alkalosis
Describes the fact that oxygen and carbon dioxide destabilize each other’s binding to hemoglobin.
We are at high altitude!
Shift the hemoglobin dissociation curve to the left
Hb can pick up O2 easier
Stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors
Hypoxia decreased dissolved oxygen in the blood
CO2/H+ are affecting the affinity of Hb for 02
O2 is affecting the affinity of Hb for CO2/H+
Right shifted Hb curve
Easier O2 delivery to their muscles during competition
High altitude conditions
Why athletes go to the mountain before a competition?
Shift the Hb curve to the right
Making O2 delivery easier to tissues
Bohr effect
Haldane effect
