MCQ
$CO _{2}$ dissociates in alveoli from carbohaemoglobin when
  • A
    $\rho O _{2}=\text { low, } \rho CO _{2}=\text { high }$
  • B
    $\rho O_{2}= high, \rho C O_{2}= high$
  • C
    $\rho O _{2}= low, \rho CO _{2}= low$
  • $\rho O _{2}=\text { high, } \rho CO _{2}=\text { low }$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\rho O _{2}=\text { high, } \rho CO _{2}=\text { low }$
d
Carbohaemoglobin dissociates in the alveoli, where there is high $O_{2}$ partial pressure and low $\rho CO _{2} .$ Due to the pressure gradient, $CO _{2}$ dissociates from the haemoglobin and $O_{2}$ combines to from oxyhaemoglobin
