During exercise increase in O2 delivery to muscles is because of all except:
Correct Answer: Oxygen dissociation curve shifts to left
Description: Oxygen dissociation curve shifts to left Exercise has been repoed to produce an increase in 2,3-BPG within 60 mins, although the rise may not occur in trained athletes. The P50 is also increased during exercise, because the temperature rises in active tissues and CO2 and metabolites accumulate, lowering the pH. In addition, much more O2 is removed from each unit of blood flowing through active tissues because the tissues' PO2 declines. Finally, at low PO2 values, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is steep, and large amounts of O2 are liberated per unit drop in PO2
