69. DATA FOR CONSTRUCTING BLOOD O2 DISSOCIATION CURVES (Continued) 



Values in brackets are calculated "f" factors. 

 Part U: MAMMALS (Concluded) 



/I/ Values in parentheses are calculated. In calculations at 37°C. pH = 6.15 + log ^ - — Wyr — =. 



where 6.15 and 0.0290 are the pK' and CO2 factors, respectively, for whole blood. /2/ Myoglobin (myohemoglobin, 

 muscle hemoglobin). Oxygen dissociation curves of myoglobin are rectangular hyperbolas and are defined by giving 

 pO^ for 507o saturation.

where 



6.15 and 0.0290 are the pK' and CO^ factors, respectively, for whole blood. /2/ Myoglobin (myohemoglobin, muscle 

 hemoglobin). Oxygen dissociation curves of myoglobin are rectangular hyperbolas and are defined by giving pOz for 

 50% saturation.
