AB Learning  ObjectivesThe  student  will  be  able  to  define  and  derive  the  six  standard  erythrocyte  indices  as  evaluated  in  a  complete  blood  count.The  student  will  be  able  to  calculate  dissolved  and  bound  O2  contents  of  blood  when  given  data  for  its  Po2,  percent  oxygenation,  and  hemoglobin  concentration  ([Hb]).The  student  will  be  able  to  identify  basic  features  of  an  HbO2  dissociation  curve  including  its  P50,  and  the  effects  of  pH,  Pco2,  [2,3-DPG],  temperature,  carbon  monoxide,  and  common  genetic  changes  on  the  P50.The  student  will  be  able  to  describe  the  major  mechanisms  by  which  erythrocytes  promote  CO2  transport,  and  estimate  the  compartment  sizes  of  CO2  carried  in  dissolved,  Hb-bound,  or  dissociated  states.
