### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Oxygen Dissociation Curve**: - The oxygen dissociation curve illustrates the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) and the percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen. 2. **Shape of the Curve**: - The curve is typically described as sigmoid (S-shaped). This shape indicates that hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as more oxygen molecules bind to it. ...
