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 Mayan and other Mesoamerican cultures used a vigesimal number system based on base 20 (and, to some extent, base 5), probably originally developed from counting on fingers and toes. The numerals consisted of only three symbols: zero, represented as a shell shape; one, a dot; and five, a bar.he Mayan civilisation had settled in the region of Central America from about 2000 BCE, although the so-called Classic Period stretches from about 250 CE to 900 CE.
