Specifically, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve relates oxygen saturation (S. 2) and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood (P. 2), and is determined by what is called hemoglobin affinity for oxygen; that is, how readily hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules into the fluid that surrounds it.March 2009). The oxygenâhemoglobin dissociation curve, also called the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve or oxygen dissociation curve (ODC), is a curve that plots the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated (oxygen-laden) form on the vertical axis against the prevailing oxygen tension on the horizontal axis.
The Mayas believed in a world of three layers: Heaven, the middle world, and underworld. Its roots were in the underworld, its trunk in the middle world, and its branches in the highest layer of the other world.
The Maya. Today, more than seven million Maya live in their original homelands of Mesoamerica and in countries all over the world. Two thousand years ago, the ancient Maya developed one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas. They developed a written language of hieroglyphs and invented the mathematical concept of zero. With their expertise in astronomy and mathematics, the Maya developed a complex and accurate calendar system.
