Hemoglobin in blood can more readily combine with carbon dioxide when blood passes through the tissues. This is due to:
1. Bohr effect.
2. Haldane effect
3. chloride shift
4. Hering-Breuer Reflex

Why is oxygen transport affected in carbon monoxide poisoning?

1. More carbonic acid will be produced, and the hemoglobin will give up more oxygen to the tissue.

2. Hemoglobin will bind to less oxygen, and hemoglobin will not release as much oxygen to the tissue.

3. Carbon monoxide makes hemoglobin give up oxygen more readily in the tissues.

4. Carbon monoxide ties up hemoglobin's ability to bind to oxygen, but more hemoglobin will be produced, so no decline in oxygen in the tissue will be noticed.
