Bohr and Haldane Effect : Mnemonics

Haldane effect

Mnemonic: HALD

1. Haldane effect
2. when blood reaches Alveoli
3. Left shift of oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve due to –
4. Decarboxylation of hemoglobin (oxygen displaces carbon dioxide which is expired)

Bohr Effect

Mnemonic: BOHR

1. Bohr effect
2. when blood reaches Organs (tissues)
3. Hydrogen ion (released from carbon dioxide) causes –
4. Right shift of oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve (oxygen is released from hemoglobin into tissues)
