Question

Which of the following is the label for the Y axis of this oxygen dissociation graph?

Choose from following:

(A) arterial PO2
(B) alveolar PO2
(C) atmospheric PO2
(D) percent hemoglobin saturation (oxygen)
(E) percent hemoglobin saturation (carbon dioxide)
This image displays a graph depicting two S-shaped (sigmoidal) curves:

1. **Axes Description**:
   - The x-axis (horizontal) is labeled from 0 to 100, marked at intervals of 10.
   - The y-axis (vertical) is labeled similarly from 0 to 100, also at intervals of 10.

2. **Curve Description**:
   - There is a bold black curve representing a typical sigmoidal growth pattern, starting slow, increasing rapidly, and then tapering off.
   - A dashed gray curve is positioned slightly to the left and above the black curve, indicating a faster increase or growth rate compared to the black curve.
   - Arrows along the black curve illustrate the direction of growth or development over time, with one arrow pointing to the right near the midpoint and another pointing left near the top.

This graph might be used to illustrate concepts such as logistic growth, learning curves, or diffusion processes, where an initial acceleration is followed by a deceleration as the process approaches a saturation point.
