Document Summary

Bio 203 evaluate class 11: strenuous exercise would cause a left-shift in the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve. This increases the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors unloading of o2 in the tissues. Strenuous exercise causes an individual"s body temperature to increase. When this occurs, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve will exhibit a shift to the right. A right- shift in the curve indicates a decrease in affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and because of that lowered affinity, it is harder for hemoglobin and oxygen to bind, but easier for hemoglobin to release already-bound oxygen. At barometric pressures this low atmospheric po2 is 94 mmhg and peripheral chemoreceptors are activated (this is true). Based on your knowledge of respiratory control, answer the following questions: When barometric pressures are low (in this case, at 450 mmhg), your rate of ventilation will exhibit a change such that it increases.
