Mechanisms of Oxygen Dissociation from Hemoglobin

The video explains how oxygen is transported in the blood via hemoglobin and how metabolically active cells can enhance oxygen dissociation to meet their increased demand. It covers the effects of heat, carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, and 2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) on oxygen release from hemoglobin, highlighting the Haldane and Bohr effects.
