Answer: graph that shows how hemoglobin binds to and releases oxygen
●● right shift on oxygemoglobin-dissociation curve
, Answer: hemoglobin releases oxygen more easily
●● left shift on oxygemoglobin-dissociation curve
Answer: hemoglobin holds onto oxygen
●● apnea
Answer: temporary cessation of breathing while sleeping
●● obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
Answer: walls of the throat narrow and relax which interrupts normal
breathing cycle
●● normal breath sounds
Answer: vesicular, bronchovesicular, bronchial
