Follow the steps given to attempt assignment on oxy hemoglobin curve
Step 1. Read the topic of oxyhemoglobin curve from ebook.

Step 2. Then watch the 7 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgSUdxrlO8Y
After following steps 1 to 2, answer the following four questions:
Where in the body does hemoglobin have more affinity for Oxygen? _________
Where in the body does hemoglobin have lesser affinity for Oxygen?_________
In which direction does the oxyhemoglobin curve shift during Bohr’s effect? Explain the reason for the shift in detail.
In which direction does the oxyhemoglobin curve shift in fetus? Why is it so? Explain
Step 3. Watch another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57P2Gsdq7is and answer the following questions:
4. When the curve shifts towards right, it takes _______ concentration of Oxygen to reach 50% saturation. Thus, a right shift means a ______ affinity of oxygen and hemoglobin
5. When the curve shifts towards left, it takes _______ concentration of Oxygen to reach 50% saturation. Thus, a left shifts means a ______ affinity of oxygen and hemoglobin
6. List all the factors that shifts the oxyhemoglobin curve towards right.
