2. Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen–hemoglobin...

   In its simplest form, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve describes the relation between the partial pressure of oxygen (x axis) and the oxygen saturation (y axis). Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as successive molecules of oxygen bind. More molecules bind as the oxygen partial pressure increases until the maximum amount that can be ...

3. Oxygen saturation (medicine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_(medicine)

   Oxygen saturation (medicine) Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen -saturated haemoglobin relative to total haemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal arterial blood oxygen saturation levels in humans are 96–100 percent. [1]

4. Normal Pulse Oximetry Ranges and How to Take a Reading - AOL

   Normal oxygen saturation levels range from 95% to 100%, with levels below 92% signaling a potential medical issue. Factors like skin tone, nail polish, and device errors can affect accuracy of the ...

5. Oxygen saturation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation

   In medicine, oxygen saturation refers to oxygenation, or when oxygen molecules (O. 2) enter the tissues of the body. In this case blood is oxygenated in the lungs, where oxygen molecules travel from the air into the blood. Oxygen saturation ( (O. 2) sats) measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen.

6. Hill equation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_equation_(biochemistry)

   Plot of the % saturation of oxygen binding to haemoglobin, as a function of the amount of oxygen present (expressed as an oxygen pressure). Data (red circles) and Hill equation fit (black curve) from original 1910 paper of Hill. [6] The Hill equation is commonly expressed in the following ways. [2] [7] [8]

7. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

   The name hemoglobin (or haemoglobin) is derived from the words heme (or haem) and globin, reflecting the fact that each subunit of hemoglobin is a globular protein with an embedded heme group. Each heme group contains one iron atom, that can bind one oxygen molecule through ion-induced dipole forces.
