How does the Bohr effect facilitate the delivery of oxygen to rapidly exercising skeletal muscle?
- The presence of 2,3-BPG in the lungs increases the loading of oxygen onto hemoglobin
- The low pH and high CO₂ in the tissue shift the hemoglobin dissociation curve to the left, increasing affinity
- The low pH, high CO₂, and high temperature in the tissue shift the curve to the right, decreasing affinity
- The high temperature and high pH in the tissue shift the curve to the right, increasing affinity
