  2. Haldane effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane_effect

    Thus, the Haldane effect describes the ability of hemoglobin to carry increased amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the deoxygenated state as opposed to the oxygenated state. Vice versa, it is true that a high concentration of CO 2 facilitates dissociation of oxyhemoglobin, though this is the result of two distinct processes (Bohr effect and ...

  3. Effect of oxygen on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_oxygen_on...

    The Haldane effect: most carbon dioxide is carried by the blood as bicarbonate, and deoxygenated hemoglobin promotes the production of bicarbonate. Increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood by administering supplemental oxygen reduces the amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin, and thus reduces the capacity of blood to carry carbon dioxide.

  4. Carbaminohemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbaminohemoglobin

    In the absence of oxygen, unbound hemoglobin molecules have a greater chance of becoming carbaminohemoglobin. The Haldane effect relates to the increased affinity of de-oxygenated hemoglobin for H +: offloading of oxygen to the tissues thus results in increased affinity of the hemoglobin for carbon dioxide, and H +

  5. Chloride shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride_shift

    The opposite process occurs in the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs when the PO 2 rises and PCO 2 falls, and the Haldane effect occurs (release of CO 2 from hemoglobin during oxygenation). This releases hydrogen ions from hemoglobin, increases free H + concentration within RBCs, and shifts the equilibrium towards CO 2 and water formation from ...

  6. Haldane's decompression model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haldane's_decompression_model

    Haldane's decompression model is a mathematical model for decompression to sea level atmospheric pressure of divers breathing compressed air at ambient pressure that was proposed in 1908 by the Scottish physiologist, John Scott Haldane (2 May 1860 – 14/15 March 1936), [1] who was also famous for intrepid self-experimentation.

    John Burdon Sanderson Haldane FRS (/ ˈ h ɔː l d eɪ n /; 5 November 1892 – 1 December 1964 [1] [2]), nicknamed "Jack" or "JBS", [3] was a scientist born in Britain who later moved to India and took citizenship there, who worked in physiology, genetics, evolutionary biology, and mathematics.

    The private prison industry has long fueled its growth on the proposition that it is a boon to taxpayers, delivering better outcomes at lower costs than state facilities. But significant evidence undermines that argument: the tendency of young people to return to crime once they get out, for example, and

    John Scott Haldane CH FRS [1] (/ ˈ h ɔː l d eɪ n /; 2 May 1860 – 14/15 March 1936) was a Scottish physician physiologist and philosopher famous for intrepid self-experimentation which led to many important discoveries about the human body and the nature of gases. [2]
