State
The Bohr effect describes how rising carbon dioxide and falling pH at active tissue shift hemoglobin's dissociation curve rightward, per Bio 3163, releasing oxygen more readily where needed.
Show
Exercising muscle's acidic, CO2-rich environment triggers greater oxygen release than resting tissue does.
Watch for
The Bohr effect adjusts local oxygen release — it does not change uptake at the lungs.
