The Bohr effect describes how carbon dioxide and pH levels influence oxygen release from hemoglobin in the blood. When CO₂ levels rise in tissues (such as during activity), the blood becomes slightly more acidic, which encourages hemoglobin to release oxygen more readily. This relationship helps ensure that active tissues receive adequate oxygen. The Bohr effect is a fundamental part of respiratory physiology and oxygen delivery dynamics.
