Which of the following factors are favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin in alveoli?

Which of the following factors are favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin in alveoli?
  1. High $\mathrm{pO}_2$ and Lesser $\mathrm{H}^{+}$concentration
  2. Low $\mathrm{pCO}_2$ and High $\mathrm{H}^{+}$concentration
  3. Low $\mathrm{pCO}_2$ and High temperature
  4. High $\mathrm{pO}_2$ and High $\mathrm{pCO}_2$

Solution

The correct answer is option (1) as Conditions favourable for formation of oxyhaemoglobin in alveoli are high $\mathrm{pO}_2$, less $\mathrm{H}^{+}$concentration low $\mathrm{pCO}_2$ and low temperature. Option (2), (3) and (4) are not correct as they do not favour the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
