Question

This figure illustrates an oxyhemoglobin curve of two types of hemoglobin- HbA (normal) and HbS (sickle-cell). The line where letter Y is would refer to a concentration of oxygen typically found in...

1) veins
2) capillaries
3) arteries

Answer 1

The Y-axis on the oxyhemoglobin curve represents the relative Hb-oxygen saturation. The line where letter Y is located refers to a concentration of oxygen typically found in arteries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y-axis on an oxyhemoglobin curve represents the relative Hb-oxygen saturation.

Based on the information provided, the line where letter Y is located would refer to a concentration of oxygen typically found in arteries.

Arteries carry oxygenated or oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to various parts of the body.
