Detailed Solution

The oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve correlates the oxygen saturation of haemoglobin across a range of oxygen pressures.

Curve will shift left when PO₂ is high, PCO₂ is low, low temperature, low H+ ions, High pH value and low 2,3-DPG.

Curve will shift right when PO₂ is low, PCO₂ is high, high temperature, high H+ ions, low pH value and high 2,3-DPG
