An oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is a sigmoid plot of percent oxyhemoglobin saturation vs. PO2. The curve illustrates hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen.
Under normal resting conditions in a healthy individual, the normal position of the curve is at a pH of 7.4.
A shift in the position of the curve with a change in pH is called the Bohr effect.
