The Bohr effect is a phenomenon that describes the inverse relationship between the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. It explains how changes in the acidity (pH) and carbon dioxide levels in the blood can influence the binding and release of oxygen by hemoglobin, a critical process in the delivery of oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
