Hematology: How is O2 dissociation curve for Hb?

Question

How is O2 dissociation curve for Hb?

H K · Accepted Answer

Hb releases O2 easier than myoglobin to allow tissue transfer of O2, at pO2 = 100mmhg SaO2=100% (arterial), 75% in 40 mmHg (venous).
2,3-DPG shifts dissociation curve to right as it increases, so does CO2 increase, H+ increase, and temperature increase
