transport and exchange of gases in the body is affected by the Bohr effect. Which of the following statements best describes the Bohr effect?     The Bohr effect lowers the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin and is caused by an activity induced increase in pH in the active muscles.     The Bohr effect lowers the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin facilitating its release in oxygen starved tissues.     The Bohr effect facilitates oxygen transport to oxygen starved tissues as it increase’s the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen.     The Bohr effect lowers the oxygen affinity of haemoglobin resulting in a reduction in oxygen availability in the active muscles.

Respiratory Infections

Respiratory infections are infectious diseases of the respiratory tract that are mostly caused by bacteria and viruses. They cause infections of the throat, sinuses, airway path, and lungs. Respiratory infections are typically divided into two types: upper tract respiratory infection and lower tract respiratory infection.
