But if we increase our hydrogen ion concentration, thereby decreasing our PH, what that does is it shifts the entire curve to the right side and we get the following dashed curve. And what that means is, at the same exact partial pressure of oxygen, we're going to have a smaller concentration percent saturation of hemoglobin. And so more of that oxygen will be released to the cells of our tissue. Now, what about the temperature? So when our cells are carrying out many metabolic processes, they don't only produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct, they also produce thermal energy. And this thermal energy is transferred into the blood plasma of our capillaries.
