    FINALLY A SIMPLE EXPLANATION!!
    I couldn't study this curve for weeks and now that I'm cramming for my exam, this lecture helped a lot. Especially when I saw how the curve is drawn and which side is which with the factors affecting it.
    Thank you so much!

  • @jmcmanus1803
    @jmcmanus1803 7 лет назад +11

    Ive reviewed this concept every few years and its never stuck, but I think it will now--the way you tied in the muscles and lungs to the features that cause the curve to shift was extremely effective! Thank you for sharing!
