    Hemoglobin : its protein of molecular weight 64,450 , in human beings it is enclose in the RBC .if it were in plasma, some of it leaks through the capillary membrane into the tissue space or through the glomerular membrane of the kidney into the glomerular filtrate each time the blood passes through the capillaries , high free plasma concentration of Hb increased blood viscosity and osmotic pressure. So for Hb to remain in the bloodstream , it must exist in the RBCs ,its major function is to carry O2 to the tissue and also it transport CO2 from the tissues to the lungs Normal hemoglobin type: Hb A: Its normal adult Hb . Its molecule consist of four polypeptide chains ,2 alpha (α) chains (each of which contains 141 amino acids) and 2 beta chains (each of which contains 146 amino acids).thus Hb A is designated α2 and β2. Hb A is predominant type of Hb in adult (95- 97% of total Hb) . Hb A2 : in the normal adult about 25% of the total Hb is Hb A2 in which chain are replaced by delta chains and is designated 2 α 2δ2 . Each δ chain also contain 146 amino acid but 10 amino acid differ from those in the β chain . Hb F (Fetal Hb): it is the main Hb in fetus and new born . It is 2α 2γ,gamma(γ) chain also has 146 amino acid but 37 amino acid differ from those in β chain, Hb F is replaced gradually by adult Hb soon after birth, usually at about 6 months to one year of age, the normal adult Hb predominates .

Copyright 2008 by the European Respiratory Society. ABSTRACT Aim: To assess whether arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2) has an impact on agreement between oxygen saturation measured with pulse oximetry (SpO2) or arterial blood gas co- oximetry (SaO2). Methods: A study was performed on SaO2 and SpO2 determinations obtained simultaneously from 846 patients under assessment for long-term home oxygen therapy in a specialized outpatient clinic. Both measurements were taken with patients seated and breathing room air. Agreement between SaO2 and SpO2 results was analyzed by the Bland-Altman method and the Lin concordance coefficient. In addition, potential interactions of PaO2 or PaCO2 on agreement were analyzed by adjusted multivariate analysis. Results: At comparison of SaO2 and SpO2 results, the Bland-Altman technique yielded a bias (95% CI) of -1.24 (-6.86; 4.38) and -1.32 (-7.78; 5.15) when PaCO2 was higher than 48 mmHg or PaO2 lower than 54 mmHg, respectively.

  • What Are the Health Effects from Exposure to Carbon Monoxide?
    CO Lesson 2 CARBON MONOXIDE: LESSON TWO What are the Health Effects from Exposure to Carbon Monoxide? LESSON SUMMARY Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless, colorless and nonirritating Grade Level: 9 – 12 gas that is impossible to detect by an exposed person. CO is produced by the Subject(s) Addressed: incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels, including gas, wood, oil and Science, Biology coal. Exposure to CO is the leading cause of fatal poisonings in the United Class Time: 1 Period States and many other countries. When inhaled, CO is readily absorbed from the lungs into the bloodstream, where it binds tightly to hemoglobin in the Inquiry Category: Guided place of oxygen. CORE UNDERSTANDING/OBJECTIVES By the end of this lesson, students will have a basic understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying CO toxicity. For specific learning and standards addressed, please see pages 30 and 31. MATERIALS INCORPORATION OF TECHNOLOGY Computer and/or projector with video capabilities INDIAN EDUCATION FOR ALL Fires utilizing carbon-based fuels, such as wood, produce carbon monoxide as a dangerous byproduct when the combustion is incomplete. Fire was important for the survival of early Native American tribes. The traditional teepees were well designed with sophisticated airflow patterns, enabling fires to be contained within the shelter while minimizing carbon monoxide exposure. However, fire was used for purposes other than just heat and cooking. According to the historian Henry Lewis, Native Americans used fire to aid in hunting, crop management, insect collection, warfare and many other activities. Today, fire is used to heat rocks used in sweat lodges.

    Hematology notes Blood/ Hematology Danil Hammoudi.MD HTTP://Sinoemedicalassociation.or/AP2/ Page | 1 Blood is a connective tissue whose matrix is fluid. It is composed of: 1. red corpuscles, 2. white cells, 3. platelets, 4. blood plasma. It is transported throughout the body within blood vessels. • Blood is sometimes considered to be a fluid connective tissue because of the mesenchymal origin of its cells and a low ratio of cells to liquid intercellular substance, the blood plasma. • In human adults about 5 liter of blood contribute 7-8 % to the body weight of the individual. • The contribution of red blood cells (erythrocytes) to the total volume of the blood (haematocrit) is about 43%. • Erythrocytes are the dominant (99%) but not the only type of cells in the blood. • We also find leukocytes and, in addition, blood platelets. Erythrocytes, leukocytes and blood platelets are also being referred to as the formed elements of the blood. • Erythrocytes and blood platelets perform their functions exclusively in the blood stream. • In contrast, leukocytes reside only temporarily in the blood. • Leukocytes can leave the blood stream through the walls of capillaries and venules and enter either connective or lymphoid tissues. Hematology notes Page | 2 Hematology notes Page | 3 Blood facts • Approximately 8% of an adult's body weight is made up of blood. • Females have around 4-5 litres, while males have around 5-6 litres. This difference is mainly due to the differences in body size between men and women. • Its mean temperature is 38 degrees Celcius. • It has a pH of 7.35-7.45, making it slightly basic (less than 7 is considered acidic).

Protoporphyrin prosthetic group Porphyrin ring Fe binding site Methene bridge Substitution sites Figure 4 Oxygen is not very soluble in aqueous solutions and therefore needs a special molecule to be carried to tissues and cells. The Protoporphyrin ring structure of Heme binds a single iron atom in its ferrous (Fe 2+) . The iron atom has six coordination bonds, four are found bound to the nitrogens in the Porphyrin ring system and two additional sites perpendicular to the Porphyrin. The Cytochromes (a, b & c) are proteins that also consist of porphyrin structures.

  • CO2 Transport Linda Costanzo, Ph.D
    CO2 Transport Linda Costanzo, Ph.D. OBJECTIVES: After studying this lecture, the student should understand: 1. How carbon dioxide is carried in blood, especially as bicarbonate. 2. The effect of oxygen on the carbon dioxide content of blood. CO2 is carried in the blood in three forms: dissolved CO2, CO2 bound to proteins such as - hemoglobin (called carbaminohemoglobin) and, most importantly, as HCO3 . I. DISSOLVED CO2 is described by Henry’s law as the partial pressure times the solubility and accounts for 5% of the total CO2 content of blood. The solubility of CO2 in blood is 0.07 ml CO2/100 ml blood/mm Hg (more than twenty times the solubility of O2). Thus, in arterial blood with a PCO2 of 40 mm Hg, dissolved CO2 is: Dissolved CO2 = PCO2 x solubility = 40 mm Hg x 0.07 ml CO2/100 ml blood/mm Hg = 2.8 ml CO2/100 ml blood, or 2.8 vol% II. CARBAMINOHEMOGLOBIN CO2 binds to terminal amino groups on hemoglobin and plasma proteins such as albumin, so-called carbamino compounds. Carbamino compounds account for 3% of the total CO2 in blood, 2/3 of which is carbaminohemoglobin. - III. HCO3 - - 92%, of the CO2 is carried in blood as HCO3 . The reactions that produce HCO3 are as follows: + - CO2 + H2O W H2CO3 W H + HCO3 Carbonic anhydrase In the tissues, CO2 generated from aerobic metabolism is added to venous blood. In the red cells of venous blood, the above reactions occur, generating H+ and - + HCO3 . The H remains inside the red cells, buffered by deoxyhemoglobin.

  • Transport of Carbon Dioxide
    Transport of Carbon Dioxide Forms of Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide is carried in the blood in three forms: dissolved, attached to hemoglobin, and converted to bicarbonate ions. Dissolved CO2 accounts for 7–10 percent of the carbon dioxide carried in the blood. This is also the only form of carbon dioxide that diffuses from the tissues into the blood and from the blood into the alveoli for expulsion from the body. Here, we will examine in depth the transfer of carbon dioxide using hemoglobin or by the formation of bicarbonate. Carbaminohemoglobin and Bicarbonate Carbon dioxide can bind to any protein and form a carbamate compound. The protein found in the highest concentration in red blood cells is hemoglobin, and 20–23 percent of the CO2 carried in the blood is bound to hemoglobin in the form of carbaminohemoglobin. In the capillaries of the systemic tissues, CO2molecules attach to the terminal amino acids of the alpha and beta chains of the hemoglobin molecule. Deoxygenated hemoglobin (hemoglobin with no or less than the maximal oxygen bound, abbreviated HHb), such as that found in metabolically active tissues, binds CO2 easily. In the capillaries of the lungs, the elevated levels of oxygen found in alveoli force the carbon dioxide off the hemoglobin molecule and oxidize the protein, freeing up hydrogen ions. Although some carbon dioxide is transported as carbaminohemoglobin, the majority, about 70 percent, is dissolved in the blood as bicarbonate ions that arise from the reversible reactions discussed below. Carbon dioxide in the presence of water can be reversibly converted to carbonic acid.
