After the carbon monoxide has selectively bound to haemoglobin the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve of the remaining oxyhaemoglobin shifts to the left
I don't understand. I mean, it binds to the position where oxygen is supposed to bind right? And anyway, oxygen is less in quantity and also, CO has 250 times more affinity...
It SHOULD shift to right but it shofet tk LEFT. Why?!
shifts to*
