When we change altitude, during the next few days, the body responds by adjusting Hb cooperativity. This can be accomplished by changing the concentration of 2,3-BPG in the blood. After moving from a low altitude to a higher altitude, does 2,3,-BPG increase or decrease? Explain how this affects oxygen transport capacity

After spending a day or more at high altitude (with an oxygen partial pressure of 75 torr), the concentration of 2,3- bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) in red blood cells increases. What effect would an increased concentration of 2,3-BPG have on the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin? Why would this adaptation be beneficial for functioning well at high altitude?
Messner and Habeler's 1978 ascent of Mount Everest without oxygen-breathing apparatus is often described as one of the most remarkable physical accomplishments achieved by humans. Table 1 shows respiratory gas and arterial pH values measured in a resting mountaineer at sea level, Everest base camp and Everest summit. Use the differences in these values to explain how breathing regulation changes when at rest at the 3 altitudes indicated. Calculations are not required but you may wish to consider the role of central and peripheral chemoreceptors and their relationship to paCO,, minute ventilation and alveolar pO, in your response.

During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right. This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 onto hemoglobin in the lungs
Which of the folloqing statements about BPG and its effect on oxygen transport is NOT true? BPG binds more tightly to adult Hb than fetal Hb, thus facilitating the O2 transfer to the fetus. An initial reponse in adapting to higher altitude is increased BPG synthesis in erythrocites. This increase in BPG concentraton will shift the Hb saturation curve to a higher affinity position relative to its sea-level position, facilitating better O2 aborption and transport at higher altitudes. The presence of BPG in mammalian erythrocytes decreases Hb affinity for O2 BPG binds Hb in its central cavity in the R-state but not in the T-state, and in this way decreasing Hb affinity for O2 BPG binds Hb in its central cavity in the T-state but not in the R-state, and in this way decreasing Hb affinity for O2
Explain the mechanism through which the hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve changes in exercising tissues relative to those tissues at rest. How does this change affect the amount of oxygen delivered to exercising tissues?
The physiological mechanisms which have caused respiratory rate to change during exercise. Before exercise Results are: RR 14 bpm, SpO2 98%, BP 130/70 mmHg (Mean arterial pressure 90 mmHg), HR 74 bpm. No cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. After exercise respiratory rate is now 20 bpm, her SpO2 is 100% on room air, BP is 140/80 mmHg (Mean arterial pressure 100 mmHg), and HR is 90 bpm. Breathing deeply and using accessory muscles.
During exercise, the oxy-hemoglobin curve shifts to the right, describe the causes of this and why it occurs
Explain the clinical significance of a right or left shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve with regard to the loading of oxygen in the lungs and unloading of oxygen at the tissues.
2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) is a negative allosteric regulator of hemoglobin that is produced in red blood cells. Normally, red blood cell levels of BPG are 5 mmol/L, yielding curve 2. Individuals acclimated to high altitudes can have BPG levels of 8 mmol/L to optimize their oxygen utilization.

Sometimes Don prefers to dive simply by holding his breath. Based on the following oxygen saturation curve, explain why hyperventilating before a dive where you hold your breath will have little effect on the oxygen content of your body, given that the Pog of the lung capillaries is 100 mmHg during normal respiration at sea level.
