6. What is the relationship between hemoglobin and PO2?
7. How do temperature, H+, PCO2, and BPG influence the affinity of Hb for O2?
8. Why can hemoglobin unload more oxygen as blood flows through capillaries of metabolically active tissues, such as skeletal muscle during exercise, than is unloaded at rest?

10. What are the diffusion paths of oxygen and carbon dioxide during external and internal respiration?
