Name the cells that contain haemoglobin.
From Fig. 4.1, determine the percentage saturation of myoglobin and adult haemoglobin at a partial pressure of oxygen of $3\text{ kPa}$.
There is a marked gap between the percentage saturation of myoglobin and adult haemoglobin at low partial pressures of oxygen. Suggest reasons for this.
Explain, using Fig. 4.1, why the difference in oxygen-binding affinity between fetal and adult haemoglobin is important.
Suggest why HPFH usually has no symptoms.
Sketch on Fig. 4.2 the dissociation curve that would be expected for adult haemoglobin when the concentration of carbon dioxide is increased.
