The hemoglobin content

The human erythrocytes contain about 32% of the hemoglobin in whole blood in an average of 13-14% (14 of 100, at the blood) in men – 14, women – 13%. Hemoglobin in 100 cm3 13.6% horse blood, cattle – 11%, pigs – 11.6%.
Hemoglobin – starting material, which is formed from any other organism pigments (pigments of the skin, bile, urine, etc. and 4.1 s.).

Muscular work of moderate severity increases hemoglobin in the blood by 4-10%. Return to normal takes 1-2 hours after use. Malnutrition reduces the hemoglobin content.

Oxygen capacity of hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve

The total amount of hemoglobin in the body characterizes the maximum oxygen storage capacity, ie. E. The ability to absorb oxygen: 1 g of hemoglobin at 0 ° C and a pressure of 101 080 Pa absorbs 1.34 cm3 oxygen. Since human blood contains, on average 600 g of hemoglobin, the complete saturation with oxygen, it can absorb more than 800 cm3 oxygen.
Under normal physiological conditions, the oxygen capacity of the arterial blood in humans is about 20 percent by volume (14 x 1.34).

Almost all of the oxygen carried by the blood to form oxyhemoglobin, and the only factor limiting oxygen uptake, – the ability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen. Therefore, the amount of oxygen absorbed depends on the content of hemoglobin in the blood. The amount of O2 absorbed by the blood plasma, depends on the barometric pressure at 101.080 kPa to 100 cm3 is contained in blood plasma of 0.3 cm3 O2 at 202.160 kPa – 4.3 cm3 O2, and at 303.240 kPa – 6.6 cm3 O2.
The amount of bound hemoglobin oxygen more than 60 times the amount of oxygen that is in the blood in a simple physical solution.

The degree of saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen depends on the partial pressure of oxygen.
Blood oxygen saturation at different oxygen partial pressures shown in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. It is called oxygenation.

Even at small oxygen partial pressure vigorously hemoglobin absorbs oxygen. For example, at a pressure of 1330 Pa O2 hemoglobin oxygenated by 55%, while the oxygen partial pressure in the alveolar air 13 300 – 14 630 Pa hemoglobin oxygenated arterial blood to 96%.
