Document Summary

February 8th, 2017: swam from alaska to russia across the bering strait, 4. 2km, water temperatures were around 0 c. Low on iron hb is formed with iron, so low on iron means your oxygen capacity is low. Hematocrit: proportion of formed elements (hb) to plasma: oxyhemoglobin compound, the saturation of the hb with the oxygen is dependent on the partial pressure of. Lower partial pressures are pressures that are going to be occurring at the muscle because we are using oxygen from the blood. February 8th, 2017: myoglobin, do(cid:374)"t see a sig(cid:374)ifi(cid:272)a(cid:374)t drop i(cid:374) saturatio(cid:374) of the m(cid:271) until we get down to about. Increase in h concentration from pyruvate to lactate: co2 increase from krebs (aerobic metabolism) Blue dotted line: this is looking at low blood ph in the bloodstream, at any given partial pressure, if co2 levels are increasing, (and/or ph is dropping) saturation is lower.
