text: You can see from the above that when the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) is high, hemoglobin binds with large amounts of oxygen (O2) and is almost fully saturated.
text: So it's a p02 of around 100 millimetres of mercury which is what we see in arterial blood, haemoglobin is almost completely saturated whereas if we look at blood coming back to the heart, venous blood, the partial pressure of oxygen is around 40 millimetres of mercury and at that point, the haemoglobin is around 75% percent saturated.
text: You can also see from the above figure that the hemoglobin is still 90% or more saturated with oxygen even at partial pressures of between 60 to 100 mmHg.
text: Under normal conditions in adult humans at rest, hemoglobin in blood leaving the lungs is about 98–99% saturated with oxygen, achieving an oxygen delivery between 950 and 1150 ml/min to the body.
text: Thus, while hemoglobin is almost saturated with oxygen in the high partial pressures of oxygen found in the lungs, its affinity for oxygen is much lower than that of myoglobin, which oxygenates even at low partial pressures of oxygen found in muscle tissue.
