Abstract
The physiologic function of the erythrocyte is the transport of oxygen from lungs to tissue. The chemistry of this process is represented by a non-linear functional relationship between oxygen tension and oxygen saturation of the contained hemoglobin. This curve is usually characterized by two parameters, P50 (the oxygen tension at half-saturation) and the Hill constant, n (a measure of sigmoidicity).
