The difference in oxygen content between arterial and venous blood
1 of 11
Why would a trained athlete have a better avo2 difference
The trained athlete's body would be more efficient at using oxygen
2 of 11
Is there more oxygen at rest or during activity
There is more o2 in the veins during rest than during activity so avo2 diff increases during exercise
3 of 11
How is an improved Av02 achieved
high quality aerobic training ,Increased muscle temperature and High quality warm up
4 of 11
Veins
Deoxygenated blood
5 of 11
Arteries
oxygenated blood
6 of 11
The Bohr Shift
the shift in the oxygen dissociation curve to the left as a result of decreased blood pH and increased temperature.
Your spelling is important - this is a key term.

INCREASED Diffusion=
Molecules from High to low concentration
Increased oxygen dissociation I increased avo2 diff Increased oxygen extraction
