Increase in partial pressure of CO2 leading to release of oxygen to the tissues is________________?
Correct answer: D. Bohr effect
- A. Haldane effect
- B. Hamburger effect
- C. Breur effect
- D. Bohr effect
Explanation
The Bohr effect describes reduced haemoglobin affinity for oxygen when tissue CO2 and hydrogen ion concentration rise, promoting oxygen unloading. The Haldane effect instead concerns the effect of oxygenation on carbon dioxide transport.
