Tissue exchangeMediumQuestion 9277
Question
Oxygen unloading in tissues is facilitated when:
- APCO2 is high and pH is lowerCorrect
- BPO2 is highest and pH is highest
- CThere is no haemoglobin
- DBlood stops circulating
Correct answer
PCO2 is high and pH is lower
Explanation
Metabolically active tissues promote oxygen dissociation from haemoglobin.
