Detailed Solution

High pO2, low pCO2, low temperature are favorable the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.

  • Oxyhemoglobin formation is favored when the pO2 is high. In areas of the body where oxygen is abundant, such as the lungs, hemoglobin binds oxygen readily. Hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen when the pO2 is elevated, allowing it to bind with oxygen molecules to form oxyhemoglobin. 
  • Low pCO2 levels also promote the formation of oxyhemoglobin. Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as pCO2 decreases. In the lungs, where pCO2 is low due to exhalation of carbon dioxide, hemoglobin is more likely to bind with oxygen. At tissues, pCO2 is high, enabling the supply of oxygen to tissues (dissociation).
  • Lower temperatures generally enhance the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin. High temperature at tissues due to metabolic reactions favour the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin.
