|
Bohr Effect
|
A decrease in the amount of oxygen associated with hemoglobin and other respiratory compounds in response to a lowered blood pH resulting from an increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood.
|
|
Carbaminohemoglobin
|
A compound of hemoglobin + CO2 and is one of the forms in which CO2 exists in the blood
|
|
Cyanosis
|
Bluish discoloration on skin usually caused by low O2 levels in the RBCs or other problems with getting oxygenated blood to the body
|
|
O2ER
|
Oxygen Extraction Ration: Ca-VO2/CaO2 (normal =25%)

|
Carbonic Acid
|
A compound of the elements hydrogen, carbon, and acid. It is formed in small amounts when its anhydride, carbon dioxide, dissolves in water
|
|
Carbonic Anhydrase
|
An enzyme that assists rapid interconversion of CO2 and water into carbonic acid, protons, and bicoarbonate ions
|
|
Chloride Shift
|
Process that occurs in the cardiovascular system and refers to the exchange of bicarbonate and chloride across the membrane of RBCs
|
|
CO2 Hydration Reaction
|
Refers to the oxygen's ability to influence the affinity of hemoglobin for CO2 and hydrogen ions
|
|
Haldane Effect
|
This effect promotes the release of CO2 from the tissues to the blood and stimulates the release of CO2 from the blood to the lungs
|
|
Volatile Acid
|
An acid produced from CO2 which can be converted into a gaseous form and eliminated by the lungs
