Abstract

The intimate connection between the acid-base status and respiratory function of blood is a fundamental concept of physiology. Recognition of this fact effectively dates back to the report by Bohr et al. (1904) of the effect of CO2 on the oxyhemglobin dissociation curve (ODC), since it later became clear that CO2-mediated pH changes are primarily responsible for the “Bohr effect”.
