Shift of oxygen binding curve to the left occurs because of: (A) Increased 2,3-DPG, (B) Increased temperature, (C) Increased PCO2, (D) Stored blood
Answer is D. Causes of the shift to the left include:Decreased H+(increased pH).Decreased 2,3-DPG.Stored blood.Polycythemia Decreased temperatureDecreased P CO2Causes of the shift to the right include:Increased H+( decreased pH)Increased 2,3-DPGIncreased temperatureIncreased PCO2
