Hemoglobin Dissociation, Hemostasis, and EPO Factors
Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve
The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve is a graphical representation of the progressive increase that occurs in the percentage of hemoglobin combined with O2 as blood O2 partial pressure (PO2) increases. This is referred to as the saturation of Hb.
Blood leaving the lungs has a PO2 of 95 mmHg and a saturation of 97%, while venous blood has a PO2 of 40 mmHg and a saturation of 75%.
Normal human blood contains 15g Hb/100ml of blood, and each gram of Hb can bind 1.34 ml

The Meaning of Life
Life is the coexistence of subject and world, and it is the radical data. Life has the following attributes: it is found in the world, and it involves taking care of something—that is, living *for* something.

Life is a continuous decision. Freedom and decisions allow us to create our life project.
Life is coexistence.
