Key Equations

$$\text{Mb} + \text{O}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{MbO}_2$$
$$Y = \frac{40}{2.8 + 40} = \frac{40}{42.8} \approx 0.93 = 93\%$$
$$\frac{Y}{1-Y} = \frac{(p\text{O}_2)^n}{P_{50}^n}$$
$$\text{HbH}^+ + \text{O}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{HbO}_2 + \text{H}^+$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
